Role Summary/Purpose : The QE Lead will lead quality engineering for API/service-layer products deployed on AWS cloud-native infrastructure, with strong hands-on ownership of test automation using Java + Cucumber (BDD), reporting via Allure, and test/defect management in ALM/Octane. This role requires deep expertise in testing AWS services including Lambda, S3, EKS, Step Functions, and AuroraDB.



The QE Lead partners closely with engineering, product, DevOps, and QE CoE to embed quality into CI/CD and deliver reliable, secure, and scalable APIs and cloud-native workloads. While this role is automation-first, the QE Lead should be comfortable performing manual testing as needed for exploratory testing, complex scenarios, or when automation is not yet available.

Key Responsibilities

API & AWS Test Automation

- Own and drive end-to-end QE strategy for API releases and AWS-deployed services: functional, integration, regression, and contract testing
- Lead and contribute hands-on to Java-based API automation using Cucumber/Gherkin (feature design, step definitions, hooks, tags, data-driven execution) and perform manual testing when required (exploratory, validation of new/complex features, triage/verification of defects, and ad-hoc release readiness checks)
- Build/maintain API automation frameworks (RestAssured/HTTP client, JSON schema validation, serialization/deserialization, auth handling) with extensions for AWS service validation
- Design and automate test scenarios for AWS Lambda functions, including event-driven triggers (S3, SQS, Step Functions), cold start behavior, and error handling
- Automate validation of AWS Step Functions workflows — testing individual states, retries, error paths, and full state machine execution
- Build automated tests for S3 file operations (upload, transformation, output validation) and AuroraDB read/write verification

Reporting, Test Management & Quality Gates

- Implement Allure reporting (test categorization, trends, flaky test analysis, actionable dashboards) across API and AWS service test suites
- Manage test planning, execution, requirements traceability, and defects using A
