• CI/CD Integration: Integrate the mock/virtualized services seamlessly into the client’s DevSecOps pipeline using tools like Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or GitLab.  

Required Technical Skills

• 5+ years in Test Automation and Architecture, with at least 2-3 years dedicated specifically to Tricentis Tosca OSV / Service Virtualization.
• Heavy technical expertise utilizing Tosca API Scan to trace tokens, handle state correlations, and create chained virtual endpoints.
