QA Lead Backend (Java Microservices)

Role Overview: You will be part of a team working on building a backend claims processing platform in the insurance domain. The focus will be on transitioning from workflow tools like Tibco and Mulesoft to a Java-based microservices architecture to enhance business logic. Your role will entail backend testing without involving UI testing. As a QA Lead, you will handle testing of Java-based microservices, APIs, and end-to-end backend workflows, while also being responsible for developing automation for these processes. Key Responsibilities: - Test Java-based backend microservices to replicate business logic previously handled by workflow tools. - Design and execute API test cases for RESTful services. - Validate request/response payloads, business rules, data transformations, and error handling. - Perform functional, regression, integration, and acceptance testing at the backend level. - Validate end-to-end claims processing workflows across multiple microservices. - Automate API and backend test cases for scalable and repeatable test coverage. - Conduct data validation across services to ensure correctness of business logic. - Collaborate with backend developers and product stakeholders to understand complex rules and edge cases. - Identify, reproduce, and document defects clearly with supporting logs and test evidence. - Contribute to improving test processes and ensuring quality in a microservices-based architecture. Qualification Required: - Backend/API Testing: Strong hands-on experience testing REST APIs and backend systems. - Automation Skills: Experience automating API test cases using tools like REST-assured, Java-based automation frameworks, or similar. - Microservices Testing: Experience in testing distributed systems or microservices-based architectures. - Functional & Integration Testing: Ability to validate complex backend workflows and business rules. - Data Validation: Comfortable validating JSON payloads, service responses, and backend data flows. - Understanding of Java Applications: Basic understanding of Java-based services and microservices interactions. - Strong analytical and debugging skills. Additional Details: Experience in the insurance or claims domain is a good-to-have. Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, automated test execution in build processes, service virtualization, mocking frameworks, event-driven systems, or asynchronous processing would be beneficial for this role.
