What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive a microservices testing strategy: Unit, component, contract, and simple, maintainable end-to-end tests.
• Encourage developers to run containerized services locally to avoid integration issues and keep pipelines clean in a trunk‑based development environment.
• Design and validate integration tests between Java services and AWS Lambda functions.
• Work in Agile/Scrum, lead refinement sessions, improve user stories and acceptance criteria, and promote BDD practices (3 Amigos, Gherkin/Cucumber).

• Working with other Quality Engineers to build and maintain automated tests using Java (JUnit, Rest‑Assured) and Pact for contract testing.
• Tools like Selenium, Cypress and Playwright for UI testing (where applicable).
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines to support trunk‑based development.
• Desirable: Containerization & orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, EKS.
