The work involves third-party and internal API integration using REST, OAuth2, and JWT, alongside middleware responsibilities and performance optimization. It suits a seasoned API engineer comfortable with the full API lifecycle and cross-functional collaboration, with automation testing experience treated as a near-essential skill.

Why we read it this way (6)
This posting is deeply contradictory: the job title and primary skill are 'QA Automation', yet the entire body — responsibilities, mandatory skills, and job summary — describes an API/backend software engineer role (Spring Boot, Microservices, REST, OAuth2, JWT, tokenization workflows). The SOC code has been assigned as 15-1253 (QA) to match the stated title and primary skill, but 15-1252 (Software Developers) is a strong alternative given the actual described work.
The experience requirement is also inconsistent: the header states '5 to 6 years' while the job summary states 'over 8 years'. The higher figure (8) has been used as the overall years minimum as it appears in the substantive role description.
Automation app testing is listed under 'Preferred Skills' but is explicitly flagged as a 'deal breaker skill' — an unusual qualifier that arguably makes it a hard gate. It has been treated as preferred given its placement under the Preferred section, but hiring managers should note this caveat.
The role is located in Chennai, India (IN-TN-Chennai), so US compensation benchmarks do not apply.
Work mode is 5 days in-office (WFO), 2pm–11pm IST shift.
This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
