Innovate with intention

Build mission-ready tech that protects the nation.

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

As a test engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with testers and developers to evaluate an enterprise web application. You’ll create a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automated and manual processes, you’ll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the application performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool.

You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of the application. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also broaden your experience in cloud development, and AI integration and gain skills in new areas such as automation, cloud computing, machine learning while sharing your testing experience with your team.
