Job description

Required Experience

• Candidates should be able to develop QA plans and test scripts and execute those plans effectively.
• Strong enterprise-scale SaaS implementation testing experience is the primary requirement.
• Experience supporting System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is especially valuable because these will be the major testing cycles.
• Icertis or Ivalua experience is HIGHLY PREFERRED but not mandatory. Familiarity with either platform may help distinguish candidates during evaluation.

Tools and Testing Approach

• Jira is used to track defects, issues, and follow-up actions.
• The team expects experience with Zephyr, Playwright, and Selenium.
• Automated testing experience is strongly preferred, particularly because Selenium and other automation tools are expected to be part of the approach.

Work Location and Team

• The role requires on-site work in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with candidates available to work at both McLean and Bethesda locations.
• Work location will generally rotate between the two offices, often involving approximately two weeks per month at each site, although the schedule may vary based on space allocation.
• The test team is expected to consist of four people: a team lead, a more senior tester, and the two new mid-level QA Analysts. The broader transformation program includes more than 40 staff members.
