tion: QA Engineer

Location: Remote

Hiring Mode: 12 Months Contract

Job Description:

We are seeking a skilled QA Engineer to join our team and ensure the quality and reliability of our Java-based applications built using Kafka, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and MongoDB. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in testing Java applications, working with test automation frameworks, and utilizing modern testing tools to ensure seamless deployments in cloud-based environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and execute test plans and test cases for Java-based applications.
• Implement automated testing frameworks for API, integration, and performance testing.
• Work closely with developers, DevOps, and product teams to define test strategies and improve software quality.
• Test applications using Kafka-based event-driven architecture, ensuring message integrity and system performance.
• Validate microservices developed using Spring Boot deployed in Kubernetes environments.
• Ensure data consistency and correctness in MongoDB by verifying CRUD operations.
• Perform load, stress, and performance testing to optimize system scalability.
• Utilize CI/CD pipelines to integrate automated testing into the development workflow.
• Debug issues by analyzing application logs, database records, and monitoring tools.
• Stay up-to-date with QA best practices, testing tools, and industry trends.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in QA testing of Java-based applications.
• Strong experience with test automation tools (e.g., Selenium, TestNG, JUnit, RestAssured, Cucumber).
• Experience with Kafka testing (e.g., Kafka Streams Testing, Embedded Kafka, MockKafka).
• Solid understanding of Spring Boot microservices testing strategies.
• Experience testing applications running in Kubernetes environments.
• Knowledge of MongoDB testing, including validating document structures and queries.
• Experience with API testing tools (e.g., Postman, SoapUI, or Karate).
• Familiarity with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling, k6).
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD).
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with contract testing (e.g., Pact) for microservices.
• Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack).
• Hands-on experience with containerized testing using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) and cloud-native testing approaches.
