About the role

What will you do at SQDM?

We’re modernizing our enterprise integration landscape and are looking for a

hands-on SDET / Engineer in Test to build a robust automated regression testing

framework for an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) environment.

This is not a UI testing role. You will write code to validate asynchronous

message flows and integration logic, ensuring regressions are caught

automatically on every deployment.

CONTRACT

Contractor / Project-based (extension potential)

CORE TECH STACK

Solace PubSub+ (or equivalent broker), Boomi (or MuleSoft/Tibco), Python

(preferred) or Node.js, Docker, CI/CD (Jenkins/Azure DevOps), Git

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT YOU WILL BUILD / OWN

* A headless test harness that can act as both Publisher and Subscriber to

validate message flows.

* Automated regression strategies for asynchronous patterns:

* fire-and-forget

* request-reply

* event chaining

* Test data generation to create complex payloads programmatically and cover

edge cases.

* CI/CD integration so tests run automatically (containerized via Docker) on

every deployment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

* Build an automation framework (Python or Node.js) to publish/subscribe and

validate end-to-end flows through a message broker.

* Validate EDA regressions (e.g., messages sent to Topic A produce expected

outcomes on Topic B), including:

* correlation IDs, timeouts, retries, ordering, idempotency

* Generate JSON test payloads from schemas to cover boundary values, invalid

cases, and load scenarios.

* Containerize tests with Docker and integrate into Jenkins / Azure DevOps

pipelines.

* Troubleshoot failures across distributed systems using logs (e.g., Boomi

process logs + broker events) to isolate root causes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENTS

* Strong coding skills in Python (preferred) or Node.js for backend test

automation (not Selenium-only).

* Experience testing APIs and integration flows (integration/system/contract

testing).

* Solid understanding of EDA / PubSub concepts (topics/queues, acknowledgments,

retries, correlation IDs, etc.).

* Experience with Docker, Git, and CI/CD (Jenkins or Azure DevOps).

* Strong troubleshooting skills in distributed environments (log-driven

debugging, root-cause analysis).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NICE TO HAVE

* Hands-on with Solace PubSub+ (or Kafka/RabbitMQ/ActiveMQ).

* Familiarity with Boomi (or MuleSoft/Tibco).

* Experience building testing tooling for asynchronous/event-driven systems.

* Comfortable using AI coding assistants (Copilot, etc.) for accelerating

boilerplate/test-data generation.
