--- Project Description ---

The position supports the UI Job Assist Tool (JAT), a initiative to

develop and integrate secure APIs and Model Context Protocol (MCP)

services between the core UI system of record and an AI-enabled Job

Assist Tool. The Senior Tester will perform functional, integration, API,

microservice, AI-tool, and MCP validation to ensure reliable and secure

read/write data exchange.

--- Day-to-Day Tasks ---

• Develop and execute functional and integration test scenarios for the

Al-enabled UI Job Assist Tool.

• Test read/write REST APIs and Java microservices used to exchange

data between the core UI system and the Job Assist Tool.

• Perform Model Context Protocol (MCP) validation, including

server/client interactions, tool invocation, request/response handling,

and error conditions.

• Validate business rules and data-integrity controls designed to prevent

corrupt or unapproved Al-generated data from being written back to the

UI system.

• Execute positive, negative, boundary, regression, and end-to-end

tests across APIs, microservices, MCP components, and Al

integrations.

• Create and maintain test cases, test data, traceability, defect

documentation, and test execution results.

• Use API testing tools to validate REST endpoints, payloads, schemas,

authentication, error handling, and response behavior.

• Query backend data stores as needed to confirm accurate processing

and persistence of data.

• Collaborate with Programmers, Data Architects, Cloud Engineers,

vendor technical teams, and business SMEs to investigate defects and

clarify expected behavior.

• Support performance and scalability testing for workloads associated

with approximately 1,500 concurrent users and document-heavy

processing.

• Validate security-sensitive integration behavior in a regulated UI

environment and support knowledge transfer to State staff.

--- Required Qualifications ---

• 60 months of experience performing functional, integration, regression, and

end-to-end testing of enterprise web applications and distributed systems.

• 36 months of experience testing REST APIs and microservices, including

request/response payloads, schemas, authentication, error handling, and

backend data validation.

• 36 months of experience testing Java-based enterprise applications or

services and using SQL to validate backend processing and data integrity.

• 12 months experience testing or validating AI-enabled applications or

integrations, including functional validation of AI outputs and data

exchanged with systems of record.

• 12 months experience validating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers,

clients, tools, or integrations, including expected and error-path behavior.

• 24 months experience using API/service testing tools such as Postman,

SoapUI, JMeter, or comparable tools.

• 24 months experience creating test plans, test cases, traceability, defect

documentation, and test execution summaries in an Agile delivery

environment.
