We are looking for an Automation Systems Engineer with proven experience in implementing comprehensive test automation solutions and CI/CD integration to join our Global Payments Technology team. You will work collaboratively with developers and platform engineers to deliver "Quality-as-a-Service" for our high-value payment processing systems, enabling teams to deploy payment features with confidence through comprehensive automated testing. You will champion best practices in AI-enabled testing and build automation platforms that accelerate delivery velocity.

• Develop & Maintain Automated Test Suites:
  Design, develop, and maintain comprehensive automated tests for microservices-based payment applications using Java, Spring Boot, and modern testing tools (JUnit, Mockito, Rest Assured, TestNG).
• Service virtualization:
  Experience with Wire Mock or similar tools for mocking external dependencies.
• Platform Engineering for Quality:
  Create self-service automation infrastructure and reusable test libraries that enable development teams to write and execute automated tests efficiently across the payment engine ecosystem.
• CI/CD Pipeline Integration:
  Integrate automated test suites into Git Hub Actions pipelines to provide fast feedback on code quality, enabling continuous deployment of payment processing services.
• API & Integration Testing:
  Develop comprehensive automated test suites for RESTful APIs, event-driven workflows (Kafka), message queues (IBM MQ), and microservices communication patterns.
• Contract Testing:
  Implement and maintain contract tests to ensure seamless integration between payment routers, workflow engines, and external systems.
• Container-Based Testing:
  Leverage Testcontainers and Docker to create isolated, reproducible test environments for integration and end-to-end testing of payment workflows.
• AI-Enabled Test Optimization:
  Integrate AI agents into developer workflows to automate repetitive validation tasks, optimize test selection, and accelerate test case generation.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally:
  Partner with developers, Dev Ops engineers, and business analysts throughout the development lifecycle to ensure quality is built into payment features from design through deployment.
• Troubleshoot & Debug:
  Analyze test failures, reproduce defects, and work with development teams to resolve issues in complex distributed payment systems.

• 5+ years of hands‑on automation experience in developing and maintaining test automation frameworks for Java/Spring Boot applications.
• Strong Java programming skills with experience in building scalable, maintainable test automation code.
• Test automation expertise with modern frameworks and tools: JUnit 5, Mockito for unit/integration testing.
• CI/CD & Dev Ops proficiency:
  Experience integrating automated tests into Git Hub Actions or similar CI/CD platforms; familiarity with build tools like Gradle/Maven.
• AI Integration:
  Familiarity with integrating AI agents into the developer workflow to automate repetitive validation tasks, enhance test automation, and improve testing efficiency.
• Microservices & Distributed Systems Testing:
  Proven ability to test event‑driven architectures, message queues (Kafka, IBM MQ), and RESTful APIs in cloud/containerized environments.
• Docker & Kubernetes knowledge:
  Hands‑on experience with containerization technologies and orchestrating test environments.
• Database testing skills:
  Strong SQL experience with relational databases (Oracle, Postgre).
