Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain automated regression test suites to validate security patches, including CVEs across OS, browser, and middleware layers.
  • Develop security-focused test cases covering OWASP Top 10 categories, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and injection attack vectors.
  • Integrate AI-assisted test generation tools to accelerate vulnerability fix validation and reduce manual testing efforts.
  • Leverage Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber BDD, and TestNG/JUnit to create functional regression suites that verify security fixes do not cause regressions.
  • Author Gherkin feature files to document security acceptance criteria for audit and compliance purposes.
  • Integrate security regression suites into Jenkins pipelines, ensuring automated vulnerability validation prior to environment promotion.
  • Manage test environment deployments using Harness and Rancher, ensuring reproducible security testing contexts across multiple environments.
  • Maintain YAML and Groovy pipeline configurations to enforce security test gates as part of release cycles.
  • Tag automated tests appropriately and ensure execution across all target environments to meet compliance requirements.
  • Track vulnerability fix validation results in SpiraTest and Jira, maintaining traceability from CVE identification through testing and closure.
  • Generate security test metrics and reports via SpiraTest and Splunk to confirm vulnerabilities are verified before release.
  • Support governance reporting by providing daily status updates on security defect resolution.
  • Collaborate with security teams and Mythos Preview partners to understand new vulnerabilities and translate them into testable acceptance criteria.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies and conduct testability reviews during design and code review phases with a focus on security.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience as a Software Development Engineer in Test or similar role.
  • Hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber BDD, TestNG/JUnit, and Rest Assured.

  • Experience integrating automated test suites into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with Git/GitHub.
  • Proficiency in Java, Gherkin, YAML, and JSON within testing frameworks.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools, specifically Claude Code.
  • Solid understanding of Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), Agile methodologies, and defect management workflows.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field.

Preferred

  • Experience in financial services, regulated industries, or critical infrastructure security.
  • Exposure to static analysis tools (SonarQube, Checkmarx) or DAST tools.
  • Familiarity with Docker and containerized test environments.
