• Create comprehensive test cases that address complex workflows, edge cases, failure modes, and reliability requirements, and analyze results to identify actionable findings.
• Participate in system integration and validation activities to detect functional, performance, and reliability issues before they impact production.
• Establish quality-control practices covering regression testing, test data management, traceability, reliability, and repeatable testing processes.
• Ensure testing activities follow applicable security, accessibility, performance, and software development lifecycle standards.
• Investigate recurring issues across test coverage, environments, tooling, and processes, implementing measurable improvements to increase efficiency and quality.
• Collaborate with software engineering and product teams to improve application testability, observability, defect prevention, and shift-left quality practices.
• Provide clear recommendations for product and design improvements based on test results, defect trends, and root-cause analysis.
• Support component-level testing, tooling, and test-data requirements in collaboration with external vendors or suppliers when needed.
• Work independently on complex technical initiatives and provide technical leadership through mentoring, best-practice development, shared frameworks, and testing standards.
• Leverage AI-assisted development and testing tools where appropriate to accelerate test creation, analysis, and defect triage while maintaining quality and security standards.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field from an accredited college or university, or an equivalent combination of education and additional relevant professional experience.
• At least 3 years of experience developing automated tests using TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, C#, or similar programming languages.

• Strong knowledge of modern testing tools and approaches, including UI automation, Testing Library, API testing, contract testing, and reliable test design.
• Experience testing backend services and microservices, including Spring Boot, with familiarity with build and dependency-management tools such as Maven.
• Experience with container-based integration testing, including technologies such as Testcontainers, and the ability to create repeatable test environments.
• Proven ability to build maintainable automation frameworks using clean code, modular design, version control, and CI/CD integration.
• Strong troubleshooting and defect-isolation skills, with the ability to identify root causes across UI, API, data, and environment layers.
• Demonstrated ability to improve testing processes, establish quality standards, and encourage adoption across engineering teams.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate technical findings into practical recommendations for engineering and product stakeholders.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development and testing workflows and the ability to use emerging AI tools responsibly while maintaining code quality and security.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance, including completion of an onsite fingerprinting process.
• Must satisfy applicable U.S. residency requirements associated with the required background investigation.

• Competitive salary: Expected annual salary range of approximately $83,927–$113,549, depending on experience, location, qualifications, and contractual considerations.
