Senior Backend Automation Engineer

Information & Communication Technology

Are you a specialist in backend quality engineering?

The Role

This isn't a "business as usual" role. You will be at the center of a complex ecosystem, driving integration testing for high-traffic services that reach hundreds of thousands of users daily.

Core Responsibilities

  • Integration Leadership: Drive the integration testing strategy across multiple workstreams to ensure seamless communication between microservices.
  • API Automation: Architect and execute sophisticated test suites primarily using Postman to validate complex backend logic.
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Work deeply within AWS environments to monitor logs, validate data persistence, and ensure cloud-native stability.
  • Collaboration: Partner with developers and architects to identify integration risks early in the SDLC within an Agile/DevOps culture.

About You

  • Postman Power-User: Advanced experience in Postman (including scripting, collection runners, and environment management) is non-negotiable.
  • AWS Proficiency: Hands-on experience testing within AWS environments (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, etc.).
  • Integration Specialist: Proven track record of testing complex, multi-stream digital transformations where "everything is moving at once."
  • Automation Mindset: Ability to build reusable, scalable automation assets rather than just performing manual checks.
  • Backend Mastery: A deep understanding of microservices architecture, contract testing, and asynchronous messaging.
