  • Write and maintain automated API tests using TypeScript, Java, or C# with frameworks such as Playwright API, REST Assured, or SuperTest.
  • Validate and troubleshoot HTTP-layer behaviours – including schema validation, pagination, rate limiting, headers, retries/backoff, and token validation.
  • Build and refactor reusable functions and components for test reusability and maintainability.
  • Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps).
  • Collaborate with developers, DevOps engineers, and QA peers to improve quality and automation maturity.

Key Requirements

  • Strong experience in API test automation with modern frameworks (Playwright API, REST Assured, or similar).
  • Skilled in Java, TypeScript, or C# for building and maintaining automated test suites.
  • Solid understanding of HTTP fundamentals and backend service interactions.
  • Proven experience owning and improving test automation frameworks.
  • Exposure to CI/CD pipeline integration in Agile delivery environments.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving mindset.
