Software Quality Assurance Engineer
The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to not just develop software, but to build software that will support critical missions for national security? As a full-stack software quality assurance (QA) and test automation developer, you can solve a problem with a complete end-to-end solution in a fast-paced, agile environment. We're looking for a developer with the advanced skills needed to build test automation and high-quality software from vision to production-ready system, and to help mature software development processes and platforms to a DevOps posture, enabled by modern technologies.

This role is more than just coding. We need a software developer who will use their passion for secure, quality software and modern development practices to learn new tools and techniques, including using approved AI tools to recommend and implement DevOps software process improvements, automate testing, configure tools to support secure software QA, and mentor teammates. Using tools like GitLab, ReST, FastAPI and others that you may recommend, and software languages, including Python and JavaScript, you'll build test frameworks, test automation software, and secure software solutions that provide capabilities to support customer missions. You'll leverage communications skills to coordinate with team members and customers in a fast-paced mission environment and collaborate within the Atlassian Suite of tools. You'll analyze the needs and environment to make sure the solution you're developing considers the current architecture and operating environment, as well as future functionality and enhancements.

Join us as we build systems to change national security missions for the better.
