At the core of the role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior QA Automation to build automated integration testing for a new Apache Camel platform and support the TIBCO-to-Camel migration. The focus is on creating reusable tools and procedures for long-term integration and regression testing, not just a one-time migration solution. The role involves technical integration testing, test automation, and close collaboration with developers, architects, and testers to analyze message-based flows and identify issues across systems.

Core skills you’ll bring

• Minimum 5 years of experience in backend/integration testing or system integration.

• Strong knowledge of API and integration testing, including REST, SOAP, synchronous/asynchronous communication, error handling, retries, timeouts and complex integration flows.

• Hands-on experience with Java test automation, preferably using RestAssured, Serenity BDD or similar frameworks.

• Good understanding of JSON, XML, schemas and API contracts.

• Knowledge of SQL and ability to independently validate data at database level.

• Experience with Git, CI/CD, Jenkins and logging/monitoring tools such as Kibana or Elasticsearch.

• Familiarity with Swagger/OpenAPI, JIRA, TestRail or equivalent tools.

• Ability to independently analyze integration services, design test coverage and troubleshoot issues across distributed systems.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with developers, architects, analysts and testers.

• Slovak/Czech - native speaker, English proficiency at B1 level or higher.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Apache Camel, TIBCO BusinessWorks, TIBCO EMS or other ESB/integration platforms.

• Knowledge of Kafka, JMS, Enterprise Integration Patterns and message-driven architectures.

• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes and service virtualization (mocks, stubs, proxies).

• Performance and load testing experience using JMeter, LoadRunner or similar tools.

• Experience in the Telecommunications industry, particularly BSS/OSS and integration processes.

• Experience with enterprise integration platform migration or modernization.

• Knowledge of BPMN and Camunda.

• Experience with AI-assisted development and test automation tools.

The impact you'll create

• Design and execute integration tests covering APIs, message contracts, transformations, routing, error handling and end-to-end flows.

• Develop reusable Java test automation components for multiple integration services.

• Build automated tests for TIBCO-to-Apache Camel migration releases and establish a sustainable regression test suite.

• Implement comparative testing to verify behavioral consistency between legacy TIBCO and new Camel implementations.

• Automate synchronous and asynchronous integration scenarios involving Kafka and JMS.

• Analyze logs and trace transactions using Kibana/Elasticsearch and correlation IDs.

• Validate data consistency using SQL (Oracle/PostgreSQL).

• Create mocks, stubs and test data to simulate upstream/downstream systems.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.

• Define testing standards and best practices for Camel integration services.

• Collaborate with developers to identify test scenarios and improve service testability.

• Analyze test failures, identify root causes and distinguish between automation, environment, data and implementation issues.

• Document solutions and ensure knowledge transfer and long-term maintainability.
