About the Role

We are seeking hands-on Quality Engineers to support the modernization of Quest, a high-volume event and workflow-processing platform. This role focuses on backend quality engineering, including API, event-driven, database, integration, performance, and migration testing to ensure reliability and correctness throughout the Quest v2 migration.

Key Responsibilities
Design and execute test strategies for backend services, APIs, event-driven workflows, and database interactions.
Develop and maintain automation frameworks using Java, REST Assured, JUnit/TestNG, and CI/CD pipelines.
Validate Kafka-based event processing, retries, ordering, duplicate handling, replay, and idempotency scenarios.
Perform migration validation between Quest v1 and Quest v2, including reconciliation and data consistency checks.
Develop SQL-based data validation, integration, regression, performance, and resilience tests.
Investigate defects using logs, metrics, traces, databases, and event streams.
Support production deployments, release validation, and incident investigations.

47 years of Quality Engineering, SDET, or software testing experience.
Strong Java programming and test automation skills.
Hands-on experience with REST API testing, REST Assured, JUnit/TestNG, and CI/CD integration.




Robust SQL and database validation experience (MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.).
Experience testing backend services, integrations, and distributed systems.
Valuable understanding of HTTP, REST, JSON, Git, and Linux/Unix settings.
Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.

Preferred Skills
Experience with Kafka, event-driven systems, and distributed architectures.
Knowledge of Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, Testcontainers, WireMock, and contract testing.
Experience with JMeter, Gatling, k6, or similar performance testing tools.
Exposure to resilience, concurrency, recovery, and high-volume transaction systems.

What We're Looking For
Engineers who treat automation as production-quality software.
Strong focus on backend, data, event-processing, and system reliability testing.
Ability to independently own test coverage, defect investigation, and quality validation.
Strong collaboration skills with developers, architects, and QA teams.

Levels: Candidates may be hired as Quality Engineer (4–6 years) or Senior Quality Engineer (5–7 years) based on experience and capability in automation design, test strategy, performance testing, and technical leadership.
