Software Development Engineer in Test

Qualification:

• Experience: 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience in software testing with a heavy emphasis on backend/API automation.
• Java Proficiency: Strong foundations in Core Java (OOP concepts, Collections, Exception Handling, and Java 8+ streams/lambdas).
• API Testing Mastery: Extensive experience testing web services using tools like REST Assured and Postman.
• Tech Stack Fundamentals: Solid understanding of Maven, Git (branching, merging, PRs), JSON data parsing, and HTTP status codes.
• Problem Solvers: Someone who proactively looks for edge cases and doesn't stop investigating until a bug is found and understood.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate API Testing: Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts for RESTful APIs using Java and REST Assured.
• Framework Scaling: Enhance our existing automation frameworks with TestNG/JUnit to support parallel and data-driven testing.
• Continuous Integration: Integrate API test suites into our CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitLab) so bugs are caught before they ever hit production.
• Backend Validation: Perform direct database validation using SQL to verify that data flowing through the APIs is processed correctly.
• Collaborate: Partner closely with software developers to understand API contracts (Swagger/OpenAPI) and participate in code reviews.
