Key Responsibilities

Java / Automation Engineer (Modernization & Automation Pivot)

Overview

We are seeking a mid-to-senior level Java Engineer to support the modernization of an existing CPQ application and transition into a long-term automation engineering role.

This is a unique opportunity to join a project where:

• A proof of concept has already been completed

• The architecture and API integrations are fully documented

• A working prototype exists, validating the modernization path

The initial focus will be to help bring the Java-based solution into production, followed by a pivot into automation engineering leveraging modern testing frameworks.

Phase 1 – Application Modernization

• Support the transition of a legacy CPQ application from C# to Java/React

• Work within an API-driven architecture, integrating and orchestrating existing services

• Leverage detailed documentation outlining:

o API mappings

o System interactions

o Integration points

• Assist in stabilizing and operationalizing the modernized application

Phase 2 – Automation Engineering (Primary Long-Term Focus)

• Transition into a Java-based Automation Engineer role

• Design and build automated test frameworks using:

o Selenium

o Playwright

• Develop and execute automated test suites for application functionality

• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines

• Collaborate on Azure DevOps (ADO) workflows and release processes

Required Qualifications

• Strong experience with Java

• Experience working with:

o APIs and system integrations

o Service-based or API-heavy environments

• Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and deployment workflows

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Preferred Qualifications

• • Experience with test automation frameworks (Selenium, Playwright, etc.)

• • Background in manual testing with progression toward automation

• • Familiarity with:

• o Azure DevOps (ADO)

• o Automated testing integration within CI/CD pipelines

• • Experience working in modernization or migration projects

What We're Looking For

• • Mid-level to Senior individual contributor (not a leadership role)

• • Hands-on, execution-focused mindset

• • Ability to work with pre-defined architecture and documentation

• • Someone currently transitioning or leaning into automation engineering

• • Strong communicator who can operate across development and QA functions
