Job Description

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior SDET / Software Engineer in Test with strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot, and modern test automation practices to join a large-scale QA Transformation project.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering capabilities with hands-on experience designing and implementing automated testing solutions across end-to-end testing, integration testing, API testing, and microservices environments.

This is not a traditional manual QA role. We are looking for a software engineer focused on quality who can build automation frameworks, develop robust automated tests, troubleshoot complex integrations, and contribute to the transition toward modern Quality Engineering (QE) practices.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust automated testing frameworks using Java.
  • Develop automated end-to-end, integration, and API tests.
  • Build and enhance testing solutions for Spring Boot applications and microservices.
  • Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks and reusable test components.
  • Validate integrations across multiple systems, APIs, and services.
  • Troubleshoot complex technical and integration issues.
  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Collaborate closely with software engineers, QA professionals, and technical teams to improve overall software quality.
  • Contribute to the QA-to-QE transformation, introducing modern automation and engineering practices.
  • Participate in the development of quality strategies and frameworks for large-scale applications.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, SDET, test automation, or a similar role.
  • Strong Java development expertise — this is the most important technical requirement.
  • Strong experience building and maintaining automated testing frameworks.
  • Extensive experience with end-to-end test automation.
  • Strong experience with integration testing across multiple systems and services.
  • Experience testing Spring Boot applications and microservices.
  • Strong experience with API and RESTful service testing.
  • Experience developing or testing microservices-based applications.
  • Solid understanding of software engineering and modern Quality Engineering practices.
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative technical environment.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Python development or test automation experience.
  • AWS experience, including AWS Lambda.
  • Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with cloud-native application testing.
  • Performance and reliability testing.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • TypeScript experience.
  • Previous experience participating in a QA-to-QE transformation.
