Skills
Must have
- 8+ years of experience in software quality engineering and test automation.
- Strong programming skills in Java (Spring Boot ecosystem) and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Deep, hands-on experience with Playwright (and/or Selenium) for web automation.
- Proven experience testing microservices and API-based systems, including async/event-driven architectures (SNS/SQS or equivalent messaging — Kafka/RabbitMQ a plus).
- Experience testing cloud-native applications on AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda) and familiarity with containers/Docker and Kubernetes.
- Solid grasp of CI/CD, test integration, and pipeline quality gates.
- Experience with performance/load testing and non-functional quality.
- Experience with API automation tools (e.g., Postman, REST-assured) and a good understanding of REST APIs.
- Basic knowledge of UNIX/Linux systems and scripting.
- A problem-solving mindset, strong attention to detail, and the ability to drive quality decisions and mentor others in a fast-paced environment.
- Hands-on experience using LLM/AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) to improve engineering productivity, with good judgment on where AI accelerates work and where huma
Nice to have
- Contract testing (Pact, Spring Cloud Contract).
- Infrastructure-as-Code familiarity (Terraform/CloudFormation) and observability tooling (CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana).
- Experience in identity verification, KYC/AML, or other security/compliance-sensitive domains.
- Experience building or testing LLM/AI-powered features, or integrating AI into test automation and CI/CD workflows.
Full description
About the Role
At Jumio, the Software Development Engineer IV - QA (SDE-IV, QA) is a senior technical role focused on ensuring the quality, performance, and reliability of highly scalable web portals and distributed backend systems. Our platform spans multiple Java Spring Boot microservices and customer-facing web portals, deployed across AWS ECS, EKS, and Lambda, and integrated through event-driven messaging using SNS/SQS.
In this role you will design and drive the test automation strategy for both UI (Playwright) and API/service layers, set the quality bar for the team, and act as a force multiplier — mentoring other engineers and embedding quality earlier in the development lifecycle. You will work closely with development, product, and DevOps teams to ensure our products meet the highest standards of quality, scalability, and security.
This is a hands-on senior IC role: you will write code, but you will also influence architecture, own cross-service test strategy, and make build-vs-buy decisions for testing tooling.
T-Shaped Engineering Expectation
As part of Jumio's engineering culture, you will adopt a T-shaped engineering approach. Beyond deep expertise in test automation and quality engineering, you will contribute across the development lifecycle — understanding software architecture, participating in design and API-contract discussions, reviewing application code, and ensuring our distributed systems are testable, observable, and resilient by design.
Role Value
This role is critical to ensuring the reliability, scalability, and security of Jumio's products. By architecting and maintaining automated testing frameworks across web, API, and event-driven layers, you will enable faster, higher-confidence releases and reduce production risk in a complex microservices environment.
What You'll DoTest Architecture & Strategy
- Define and own the end-to-end automated test strategy across web portals and backend microservices, balancing UI, API, contract, integration, and end-to-end coverage (test pyramid).
- Design test strategies for distributed, event-driven systems — including asynchronous flows through SNS/SQS, eventual consistency, idempotency, message ordering, retries, and dead-letter handling.
Automation Engineering
- Develop and maintain robust test automation frameworks for web (Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent) and API testing, using Java and/or JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Automate API and service-level testing (REST/JSON, and async messaging) to validate functionality, performance, and resilience.
