Description

You will spearhead next-gen QA practices in a high-traffic retail environment using autonomous coding agents and LLM-assisted workflows as the primary development toolkit. You will generate test code, refactor legacy frameworks, and validate complex enterprise integration points, focusing heavily on Java, BDD practices, and SOAP/REST APIs.

Responsibilities

• Use AI coding tools to accelerate requirement analysis, write executable spec files, generate robust test code, and perform autonomous debugging and refactoring.

• Design and implement end-to-end integration test suites using Java, JUnit, and Cucumber/Gherkin targeting critical enterprise interfaces, specifically SOAP web services.

• Evolve existing automated testing architectures to support seamless AI-assisted code generation and execution within modern CI/CD pipelines.

• Expand coverage for complex business flows, optimize execution speeds, and integrate automated verification checks directly into build workflows.

Requirements

• Proven daily hands-on practice using developer agents and AI coding environments (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Antigravity, or similar) to write, optimize, and maintain production-grade code.

• Core technology stack: Java, JUnit, Cucumber (Gherkin syntax for BDD).

• Integration testing: deep experience testing web services with specific emphasis on SOAP protocols and API testing.

• Architecture & pipelines: hands-on experience scaling test frameworks and integrating test execution into CI/CD workflows.

• Nice to have: Continuous Integration tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions).

• Nice to have: Enterprise test management tools (Jira / Xray).

• Nice to have: Relational database querying (Oracle SQL).

• Nice to have: Workflow automation platforms (e.g., n8n).

Benefits

• Initial 3-month full-time remote assignment (100% allocation) with potential for extension.
