Evolver is seeking a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to help design and develop the implementation of end-to-end automated regression testing frameworks for Spring Boot / React-based applications running in AWS ECS. These applications integrate through REST APIs and JMS (SQS) messaging.
The primary goal of this position is to build and improve robust, scalable, and maintainable automated regression test suites that execute across different layers of the system and integrate seamlessly into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines.
This role requires a hands-on developer-tester who can build frameworks and help guide development and QA teams on automation best practices, framework design, and execution strategy.
Responsibilities:
• Design, develop, and maintain automated regression testing frameworks for Spring Boot / React applications.
• Implement automation for REST APIs, UI, and JMS (SQS) message flows.
• Develop Jenkins pipelines for automated regression execution-both standalone and integrated within build and deploy processes.
• Support different levels of regression testing:
• Surface testing: quick, high-level verifications for deployments.
• Detailed testing: full regression coverage for validation cycles.
• Ensure all test suites perform automated cleanup (test data, environment, containers) after execution.
• Collabo
