Automation Tester

Job Summary

Senior SDET Lead role in a global enterprise responsible for designing and implementing robust test automation for Spring Boot and Java services Azure(OpenShift) AWS(1CP) Github ensuring high quality delivery of hybrid model applications. The role focuses on scalable frameworks continuous testing practices and measurable quality outcomes for complex distributed systems in an airline aligned environment.

Responsibilities

• Design automation strategies that validate complex Spring Boot and Java services to achieve reliable and repeatable quality outcomes across hybrid delivery environments.


• Develop scalable test automation frameworks that integrate with existing Java ecosystems to ensure maintainable and extensible quality solutions for critical business services.


• Implement robust test suites that cover functional regression integration performance and reliability scenarios to minimize production defects and service disruptions.


• Coordinate with cross functional teams to refine requirements and acceptance criteria to ensure clear testability and measurable quality goals for all deliverables.


• Create detailed test design documents that map business scenarios to automated coverage to provide transparent traceability and risk based quality assurance.


• Optimize continuous integration workflows by embedding automated quality gates to improve feedback cycles and enhance confidence in each release.


• Review automation code contributions from peers to uphold secure efficient and maintainable coding practices within the test engineering codebase.


• Mentor team members in advanced Java and Spring Boot focused automation techniques to uplift overall test craftsmanship and accelerate delivery value.


• Analyze production incidents and quality trends to identify root causes and to define preventive automation and process improvements.


• Design service virtualization and mock strategies that allow stable testing of dependent airline domain services without impacting upstream or downstream systems.


• Collaborate with performance engineering and reliability teams to ensure non functional quality checks are embedded into automated pipelines.


• Document clear test strategies standards and reusable patterns so that distributed teams can consistently apply robust SDET practices in day to day work.


• Ensure hybrid work model effectiveness by enabling remote friendly tools workflows and knowledge sharing so that distributed teams can maintain consistent quality.


• Drive risk based testing approaches that focus automation on high value airline domain journeys such as booking ticket changes and ancillary service flows.


• Coordinate defect triage processes that ensure timely prioritization resolution and verification of issues discovered by automated and exploratory testing.


• Partner with product and architecture groups to influence design decisions that improve testability observability and long term system resilience.


• Integrate service level checks and contract tests that continuously validate interactions between microservices to reduce integration failures in downstream environments.


• Design data management strategies that include synthetic test data generation and masking approaches to support secure and repeatable automation runs.


• Implement quality metrics dashboards that provide transparent visibility into coverage defect trends and pipeline stability to stakeholders.


• Engage with airline domain experts to translate operational scenarios into realistic automated test journeys that improve customer and traveler experiences.


• Align automation practices with enterprise security standards by embedding checks that validate secure coding and configuration principles.

Qualifications

• possess extensive experience in designing and implementing Java and Spring Boot based automation frameworks for complex enterprise systems.


• demonstrate strong proficiency in writing clean modular and reusable automation code using core Java test libraries and supporting utilities.


• exhibit hands on expertise with test frameworks such as JUnit and TestNG and with build tools that orchestrate automated test execution at scale.


• show practical knowledge of API testing concepts including request validation response verification and contract stability within microservice architectures.


• display experience working in Agile and DevOps oriented environments where continuous integration and continuous testing practices are standard.


• bring exposure to airline or travel domain processes where reliability and customer centric quality expectations are particularly high.


• apply strong analytical and problem solving skills to diagnose automation failures and systemic quality issues under time sensitive conditions.
