Job Description:

We‘re looking for an SDET who can own backend quality for Spring Boot microservices by building and maintaining robust API automation and end-to-end regression suites. This is a hands-on role focused on service/interface-level testing, not primarily UI automation.

Responsibilities and Core Competencies:

- Design, develop, and maintain backend API automation frameworks for Spring Boot microservices.

- Build and own end-to-end regression suites that run reliably in CI/CD.

- Create and maintain integration tests and service/interface-level tests for microservices.

- Implement mocking/stubbing for downstream dependencies (services, queues, DBs, third-party APIs) to ensure deterministic tests.

- Define test strategy, coverage, and test data approaches; debug failures and improve test stability.

- Collaborate with engineers to improve testability, observability, and quality gates.

Must-have skills:

- Strong experience in backend API automation (not only Postman/manual) using Java-based frameworks (e.g., RestAssured) and CI integration.

- Working knowledge of Spring Boot microservices testing, including unit + integration testing patterns.

- Comfort with mocking/stubbing dependencies (e.g., using mocking frameworks, test doubles, contract stubs).

- Basic DSA/problem-solving ability: question comprehension, structured reasoning, and test-case design.

Good-to-have:

- Experience with contract testing/schema validation / API compatibility checks.

- Experience testing asynchronous flows (Kafka/queues), retries, and distributed systems behavior.

- Experience building test reporting and dashboards (test trends, flaky tests, failure triage).

What this role is not:

- This role is not primarily manual testing.

- This role is not primarily Selenium/UI automation (UI experience is fine, but backend automation is the core).

Interview focus areas (what we‘ll evaluate):

- Backend API automation depth (framework design, CI integration, reliability).

- Microservices testing approach (unit/integration, interfaces, dependency isolation).

- Mocking/stubbing strategy and ability to reason about downstream dependencies.

- Basic DSA/problem-solving and structured thinking.
