About the role

  • Design and implement automated end-to-end test suites targeting the NestJS API layer.
  • Write API-driven test scripts to validate request/response structures, business rules, database side effects, and blob storage behavior.
  • Implement test logic capable of validating outputs from Databricks MLflow model executions, ensuring result accuracy and full workflow consistency.
  • Build and maintain a scalable automated regression testing framework.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines so tests run automatically on each deploy, including quality gates and failure diagnostics.
  • Plan and execute manual test cycles (smoke, functional, regression, and release readiness) for complex and high-impact scenarios that are not yet automated.
  • Perform exploratory testing on new APIs, data flows, and model outputs to uncover edge cases and usability risks; feed findings back into automated coverage.
  • Create and maintain test plans, and test cases with clear acceptance criteria and traceability to requirements (e.g., OpenAPI specs, tickets, and data contracts).
  • Execute manual API validation using tools like Postman and direct SQL checks (PostgreSQL) to verify persistence, migrations, and data integrity.
  • Support UAT with actuarial and engineering stakeholders; reproduce issues, capture evidence, and verify fixes.
  • Collaborate with backend engineers (Node.js / Python) and actuarial teams to understand business flows and test for expected system behavior.
  • Develop mocks, data fixtures, and test harnesses for API and data-layer scenarios.
  • Ensure clear reporting, traceability, and root-cause insights for failed test cases, including well-formed defect tickets and triage participation.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in automated testing or QA engineering with a backend or API focus.
  • Strong experience testing REST APIs, including validation of payloads, flows, and error handling.
  • Hands-on skills with automated testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Jest, Postman collections).
  • Proven manual QA skills: writing/maintaining test plans & cases, executing structured test cycles, exploratory testing, and defect management.
  • Practical SQL skills (preferably PostgreSQL) for data validation in tests.
  • Familiarity with cloud services and CI/CD automation.
  • Ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-structured automated test code.
  • Experience with test case management and defect tracking (e.g., Zebrunner/TestRail/Zephyr/Xray, Jira) and producing test evidence (logs, DB snapshots, screenshots).
  • Advanced English for daily communication with actuarial and engineering teams.
Benefits
  • Health insurance
  • Flexible working hours
  • Professional development opportunities
