The ideal candidate has solid programming fundamentals in JavaScript/TypeScript, working knowledge of automation frameworks, and a passion for shipping high-quality software.

• Validate RESTful APIs using tools like Postman, Swagger, or API test frameworks.
• Assist with integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Triaging and debugging test failures, and reporting high-quality defects with traceability.
• Document and track bugs and test cases using standard tools (Jira, Qmetry, etc.).
• Provide test coverage metrics and participate in go/no-go decisions.
• Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.
• Protect Chamberlain Group's reputation by keeping information confidential.
• Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
• Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed.

Job Requirements:

• Experience working with REST APIs, JSON payloads, and API mocking tools.
• Good understanding of Git, version control, and branching strategies.
• Exposure to DevOps pipelines and cloud environments (AWS/Azure).

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Solid knowledge of QE concepts and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
