--- 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 ---
1. Develop and execute functional and integration test scenarios for the
Al-enabled UI Job Assist Tool.
2. Test read/write REST APIs and Java microservices used to exchange
data between the core UI system and the Job Assist Tool.
3. Perform Model Context Protocol (MCP) validation, including
server/client interactions, tool invocation, request/response handling,
and error conditions.
4. Validate business rules and data-integrity controls designed to prevent
corrupt or unapproved Al-generated data from being written back to the
UI system.
5. Execute positive, negative, boundary, regression, and end-to-end
tests across APIs, microservices, MCP components, and Al
integrations.
6. Create and maintain test cases, test data, traceability, defect
documentation, and test execution results.
7. Use API testing tools to validate REST endpoints, payloads, schemas,
authentication, error handling, and response behavior.
8. Query backend data stores as needed to confirm accurate processing
and persistence of data.
9. Collaborate with Programmers, Data Architects, Cloud Engineers,
vendor technical teams, and business SMEs to investigate defects and
clarify expected behavior.
10. Support performance and scalability testing for workloads associated
with approximately 1,500 concurrent users and document-heavy
processing.
11. Validate security-sensitive integration behavior in a regulated UI
environment and support knowledge transfer to State staff.
