Software Test Engineer

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you've developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you're a solutions architect. You've evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to tackle the toughest challenges in the Intelligence Community?

As a solutions architect on our team, you'll translate your customer's IT needs and future goals into a plan by crafting design specifications, requirements, scripts, and test cases. Through your leadership, we'll help transform the way the Intelligence Community uses technology, including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. What do you do next in a career where you've reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow's solutions architects.

Join us and build the future of technology in the Intelligence Community for the better.

What You'll Do:

• Design and execute manual test plans, test cases, and procedures.
• Perform system integration and end-to-end testing across UI, API, back-end, and data workflows.
• Validate data accuracy using SQL and troubleshoot integration issues through API and log analysis.
• Identify, document, and track defects using tools such as Jira, Zephyr, or TestRail.
• Collaborate with developers, architects, and DevOps teams to resolve system and data issues.
• Participate in Agile or SAFe ceremonies and support sprint and PI testing activities.
