💼 Why This Role Is Good for Experienced QA/SDET Professionals
For candidates with 5+ years of experience, this is more than a test-execution position. The responsibilities involve framework design, automation maintainability, API automation, database validation and CI/CD integration. You would be expected to think about the quality of the complete application rather than only individual UI test cases.
The role can particularly suit engineers who want to strengthen their profile across UI + API + database + DevOps testing. DevLabs has also recently advertised experienced automation positions involving Java/Selenium, Playwright, API testing and banking-domain projects, indicating continued demand for automation expertise within its engineering teams.
🧑💻 Key Responsibilities
- Design and maintain scalable Java/Selenium automation frameworks.
- Develop, execute and maintain reliable automated test scripts.
- Build API automation using REST Assured.
- Validate backend and database information through SQL.
- Integrate automated suites into Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab pipelines.
- Perform functional, regression, smoke and integration testing.
- Investigate failures, analyze defects and provide useful debugging information.
- Improve automation reliability, execution performance and maintainability.
- Collaborate with developers, product owners and QA professionals in Agile/Scrum teams.
🛠️ Skills Required
- Programming: Core Java, OOPs, collections, exceptions and Java 8+ concepts.
- UI Automation: Selenium WebDriver, locators, waits, Page Object Model and browser handling.
- Test Frameworks: TestNG/JUnit, assertions, parameterization and parallel execution.
- API Testing: REST Assured, HTTP methods, status codes, headers, authentication, JSON and schema validation.
- Database: SQL joins, subqueries, aggregation, CRUD validation and backend data reconciliation.
- Automation Framework: Maven/Gradle, reusable utilities, configuration management and reporting.
- DevOps: Git, branching, Jenkins, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
- Testing: Functional, regression, smoke, integration and end-to-end testing.
- Additional Advantage: Docker, Cucumber/BDD and JMeter/Gatling.
🎯 Preparation Tips
1. Prepare framework-design questions: Be ready to explain how you would build a Selenium framework from scratch, including POM, TestNG, utilities, test data, configuration, logging and reporting.
2. Master REST Assured: Practice creating GET/POST/PUT/DELETE requests, validating JSON responses, handling authentication and extracting response values for subsequent requests.
3. Strengthen SQL: Expect practical queries involving joins, duplicate records, aggregations and validation between UI/API responses and database records.
4. Study CI/CD failures: Know how you would investigate a test that passes locally but fails in Jenkins or GitLab.
5. Practice flaky-test debugging: Be prepared to explain synchronization problems, unstable locators, test-data dependency, environment issues and retry strategy.
6. Know Selenium deeply: Prepare questions around implicit vs explicit waits, stale elements, dynamic elements, frames, windows, JavaScript execution and parallel execution.
🧩 Expected Interview Rounds at DevLabs Technology

- Round 3 – API & Practical Technical Discussion: REST Assured, API scenarios, database validation, CI/CD and troubleshooting.
- Round 4 – Project/Managerial Discussion: Ownership, Agile collaboration, defect handling, framework decisions and real-world situations.
- Final – HR/Offer Discussion: Compensation, joining timeline, onsite expectations and other employment details.
💰 Salary Range
The job listing reproduced by JobLeads for this DevLabs Alliance/Technology position currently shows an indicative range of ₹12–18 LPA for the Automation Test Engineer role.

For a 5+ year candidate, actual compensation can depend on Java/Selenium depth, API automation, framework ownership, CI/CD experience, current CTC and project requirements.
📄 Resume Tip
- Put QA Automation Engineer / SDET | Java | Selenium | API | SQL prominently in the headline.
- Show the number of automated test cases/frameworks you developed or maintained.
- Mention measurable reductions in regression time or manual effort.
- Add REST Assured and API automation as separate skills rather than hiding them under “API Testing.”
- Highlight SQL/database validation with practical examples.
- Mention Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab CI if you have implemented automated pipelines.
- Include framework architecture, Page Object Model, TestNG/JUnit, Maven/Gradle and Git.
- Add Docker, JMeter/Gatling or Cucumber only if you have genuine hands-on exposure.
