- Design and implement test strategies for the Java 8 to Java 21 migration, covering compatibility, regression, and behavioral validation.
- Write and maintain automated test code in Java for API, backend services, and integration layers.
- Build, extend, and own our existing Java-based automation framework running in Jenkins.
- Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Pipeline-as-Code (Groovy/Jenkinsfile).
- Validate functional and non-functional behavior of migrated services, identifying edge cases and compatibility risks.
- Perform API, integration, and regression testing across the application stack.
- Collaborate with Java Developers to review code changes, assess migration risks, and define test coverage.
- Manage and triage defects with clear root cause analysis and technical documentation.
- Maintain test documentation, test cases, and validation reports.
Requirements
- 2-4 years of Software Development in Test (SDET), test automation engineering, or backend development experience, with at least 1-2 years writing automation in Java.
