Become a Key Player as a Software Quality Developer

As a Software Quality Developer, you will design and implement automated tests for complex backend services to ensure platform releases with the highest level of quality. You will collaborate closely with backend engineers to shape quality strategy, expand API and end-to-end coverage in Java, and evolve a Cucumber-based automation framework. This assignment provides leave-of-absence coverage for a full-time employee.

Here’s How You’ll Make an Impact on the Team

Build and maintain API-level automated tests for REST-based and distributed services.

Develop end-to-end automated workflows spanning multiple microservices.

Write maintainable, production-quality test automation in Java.

Contribute to the expansion and evolution of the Cucumber-based automation framework.

Create supporting libraries, test utilities, and test data management tools.

Partner with backend engineers to define test plans, acceptance criteria, and testing strategy.

Participate in design and code reviews with a focus on testability and quality risk.

Conduct root cause analysis for failures in distributed systems.

Ensure strong API and E2E test coverage for new features.

Perform exploratory and functional testing where automation is not yet available.

File detailed, actionable bug reports and collaborate with developers to resolve them.

Here’s What You’ll Need to Be Successful in This Role

Strong proficiency in Java.

Experience developing E2E automated tests in distributed/microservices environments.

Strong understanding of testing methodologies: integration, regression, contract testing, negative testing.

Experience with HTTP libraries and tools such as REST-assured or similar.

Experience using Git and CI/CD pipelines.

Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.

Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience in Software Quality.

Here’s What Else Might Help You Out

Hands-on experience with Cucumber, BDD frameworks, or Gherkin-based test development.

Experience with large-scale distributed systems (Kafka, Redis, Spark, NoSQL).

Familiarity with Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress.

Experience with performance testing tools (JMeter, K6, Locust).

Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Experience with observability/monitoring tools (Splunk, Grafana, Datadog).

$56.34 - $70.42/hour
