• Perform API testing using Rest Assured and validate RESTful services.
• Collaborate with developers, QA, and business analysts to understand requirements and ensure comprehensive test coverage.
• Implement and maintain test frameworks for UI and API automation.
• Execute automated test cases, analyze results, and report defects using tools like JIRA or similar.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, Git).
• Ensure adherence to best practices in coding, automation, and testing standards.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of automation processes.

Required Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Java programming.

• Understanding of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Git, and version control systems.
• Good knowledge of SDLC, Agile methodologies, and defect tracking tools.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Exposure to BDD frameworks like Cucumber.
• Knowledge of performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter).
• Experience with cloud-based testing environments.
• Basic understanding of SQL for database validation.

Role 2: Playwright with JavaScript/TypeScript

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain end-to-end automation scripts using Playwright with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Build and optimize custom automation frameworks leveraging Playwrights capabilities.
• Perform cross-browser testing and ensure compatibility across different environments.
• Integrate automation scripts into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Collaborate with QA, developers, and product teams to ensure high-quality releases.
• Troubleshoot and resolve automation issues in real-time during test execution.
• Implement best practices for test design, code quality, and scalability.

Required Skills:

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright for web automation.
• Knowledge of Playwright Test Runner, selectors, and network mocking.
• Familiarity with API testing using Playwright or other tools.
• Experience with asynchronous programming and Promises in JavaScript.
• Understanding of CI/CD tools and version control systems (Git).
• Good grasp of Agile methodologies and defect tracking tools.

Real-Time Challenges You Should Be Able to Handle:

• Dynamic elements & flaky tests: Handling elements that load asynchronously or change frequently.
• Authentication flows: Automating login with multi-factor authentication or OAuth.
• Network interception: Mocking/stubbing API responses for isolated testing.
• Cross-browser issues: Ensuring tests run consistently on Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.
• Parallel execution & scalability: Running tests efficiently across multiple environments.
• Handling iframes & shadow DOM: Writing robust selectors for complex DOM structures.
• CI/CD integration: Managing test runs in pipelines and reporting failures effectively.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

• Experience with BDD frameworks like Cucumber.
• Knowledge of performance testing and visual regression testing.
• Familiarity with Docker for containerized test environments.

Education & Experience:

• Bachelors degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven experience in automation testing, particularly for APIs.
