About the role

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.
