Job Description

The Junior Functional and Automation Tester supports the planning, execution, and documentation of functional and automated testing for modern applications. This role works with product, development, Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps), and) team members to help ensure solutions meet business requirements and quality expectations. The tester contributes to test case development, test automation, defect reporting, and continuous improvement while learning established testing standards, security practices, and delivery processes.

MEANINGFUL WORK AND PERSONAL IMPACT:

Participate in sprint/release planning by helping identify testing scope, test data needs, and required environments under the guidance of senior team members.
Review business and technical requirements and assist in creating test cases, test scripts, and test data to validate workflows, edge cases, and error handling.
Execute hands-on functional testing (manual and exploratory) and document results clearly, including reproduction steps and supporting evidence.
Build and maintain automated tests (such as unit, application programming interface (API), integration, and user interface tests) following team frameworks and coding standards.
Support testing of event- and message-based workflows, including applications that use Apache Kafka or similar messaging technologies, by validating expected outcomes and end-to-end processing behavior.
Assist with testing API-centric and cloud-friendly designs (microservices and serverless applications), including basic backward compatibility and integration checks.
Log, track, and re-test defects; participate in defect triage discussions and learn to support root-cause analysis by providing clear observations and test evidence.
Follow secure testing and data handling procedures; escalate potential security or privacy concerns to appropriate team members.
Contribute to continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) testing by running automated suites, reviewing results, and helping keep tests reliable and maintainable.
Help maintain testing documentation (test plans, test evidence, dashboards, and runbooks) so releases are auditable and operationally ready.
Learn and apply observability basics (logs, metrics, alerts) to support troubleshooting and improve test coverage over time.
Use approved AI-assisted development and testing tools to help accelerate test creation and analysis, while following team guidance for quality and security.
Perform other job-related tasks as assigned to support delivery and quality goals.
