Job Description

As a Full Stack Software Engineer with a QA focus, you will be a key contributor to our product's lifecycle. You won't just be "testing" code; you will be "building for testability." Your primary responsibility is to develop scalable backend microservices using Java Spring Boot while simultaneously leading the strategy and implementation of our automated testing framework.

You will work closely with frontend and backend developers to understand system architecture, identify edge cases, and implement automated UI and API tests using Playwright (or similar modern frameworks). This role is ideal for a developer who is passionate about clean code, "Shift-Left" testing mentalities, and building resilient systems that can be deployed with high confidence.

  • Feature Development: Design, develop, and maintain backend RESTful APIs and microservices using Java and the Spring Boot framework.
  • Automation Architecture: Design and implement scalable end-to-end (E2E) automation frameworks using Playwright to validate applications along with XRay integration and AI driven development
  • Integration Testing: Develop comprehensive integration tests to ensure seamless communication between system components.
  • CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated test suites into CICD pipelines to enable continuous deployment and rapid feedback loops.
  • Quality Strategy: Lead the "Shift-Left" initiative by participating in design reviews to ensure features are designed with testability in mind.
  • Performance & Security: Monitor system performance and conduct basic security/vulnerability testing within the automation suite.
  • Collaboration: Work within an Agile team to conduct code reviews, document technical specifications, and mentor junior engineers on automation best practices.

Technical Skills

  • Backend: Proficiency in Java and the Spring Framework (Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data).
  • Automation: Hands-on experience with Playwright or Selenium for browser and API automation.
  • Web Technologies: Solid understanding of JavaScript/TypeScript and how modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, or Vue) interact with APIs.
  • Database: Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) or NoSQL solutions (MongoDB).
  • Testing Fundamentals: Deep knowledge of the Test Pyramid, including Unit, Integration, and E2E testing methodologies.
  • Tools: Familiarity with Git, Maven/Gradle, and Docker.

Soft Skills & Experience

  • Experience: 1+ years of professional experience in software development or automated quality engineering.
  • Problem Solving: A proactive mindset for identifying potential points of failure and debugging complex asynchronous workflows.
  • Communication: Ability to clearly communicate technical risks and quality metrics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
