Job description

CVP is seeking a skilled QA Engineer to join our team supporting a federal website modernization project. In this role, you will serve as a hands‑on manual tester responsible for validating tickets and features throughout the development lifecycle, ensuring quality and functionality align with project requirements and user expectations. You will collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to understand acceptance criteria, execute test cases, and clearly document and communicate defects and findings.

As a secondary responsibility, you will help maintain and extend our existing Playwright-based automation suite, contributing to automated test coverage as the project evolves. Rather than building a new framework from the ground up, you will work within established automation patterns and tooling to enhance and sustain what is already in place.

The ideal candidate is detail‑oriented, communicates clearly, and is comfortable balancing day‑to‑day manual testing demands with ongoing contributions to a modern, script‑based automation suite in an agile environment.

• Perform manual testing of tickets/features, including exploratory, functional, UI/UX, and regression testing
• Query and validate data directly in the database using SQL to confirm test data availability and correctness
• Write and execute test cases and test plans for assigned tickets
• Track defects, document results, and close out tickets with clear pass/fail evidence
• Maintain and extend our existing Playwright automation suite as time allows (secondary priority, not primary)
• Support 508 compliance and performance/load testing as needed
• Collaborate with developers to reproduce and clarify reported issues
• Present in front of executive level leadership
• Act as liaison among multiple QC/Testing teams, coordinating results and reproducing issues
• Identify process improvements in the QC/Testing process
• Must be eligible to obtain a high-level Public Trust clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required)
• 3-5+ years of hands‑on manual QA/testing experience
• Strong SQL skills — able to write queries independently to investigate and validate data
• Experience writing test plans and test cases
• Familiar with UI/UX and 508 testing
• Experience testing custom and web applications
• Strong communication skills — need to document and report findings clearly
• Capable of thorough regression testing

Desired Skills

• Experience with Playwright specifically is a plus
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) a plus
• Familiarity with common scripting/programming languages (JS, Python, .NET, etc.)
• Experience with Visual Studio and VS Code
