Our team is composed of creative, forward-looking thinkers who are passionate about using cutting-edge technology to improve lives and generate a positive impact on our country. We offer an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment that values fresh ideas, candid conversations, and authentic teamwork.

Amida Technology Solutions is seeking a Senior Quality Engineering (QE) Engineer. The successful candidate will own test strategy and quality outcomes for mission-critical government systems. This role will report to the program manager. The ideal candidate will be motivated by the opportunity to support public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private companies in transforming their data into actionable insights. The candidate must be willing and able to work 3-4 days per week at our client's site in downtown Dallas, TX.

What you will do:

• Design, document, and maintain end-to-end test strategies covering functional, regression, integration, performance, security, and accessibility testing
• Lead defect triage to include running recurring triage forums, setting severity and priority standards, driving root-cause analysis, and tracking defects to closure across teams
• Build and extend automated test suites and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines so quality gates run on every build
• Design and execute mobile automation test suites using BrowserStack, Percy, or equivalent platforms
• Build and maintain RPA-based test workflows using UiPath or equivalent RPA platforms
• Design and develop testing harnesses for data masking, PII/PHI redaction, and other secure test-data handling needs
• Perform accessibility testing using Deque axe or equivalent tooling to validate Section 508/WCAG compliance
• Define and report quality metrics (e.g., coverage, escape rate, mean time to detect, automation yield) and use them to guide release go/no-go decisions
• Partner with product, architecture, and DevOps on requirements review, test data management, and environment readiness
• Support compliance and audit needs, including traceability from requirements through test evidence
• May mentor mid-level and junior QE engineers on test design technique, tooling, and review practice
• Other duties as assigned

Required Education:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline

Required Experience:

• At least seven years of professional experience in software quality engineering or test engineering
• At least three years of hands-on experience with Selenium, Playwright, RestAssured, Postman/Newman, and OpenAPI/Swagger for UI, API, and contract testing
• At least two years of mobile automation testing experience with tools such as BrowserStack or Percy
• At least two years of experience with UiPath or other RPA automation software
• Demonstrated ownership of test strategy design for enterprise-scale or government systems
• Proven experience leading defect triage across multiple engineering teams and stakeholder groups
• Experience embedding automated quality gates in CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)
• Experience designing and building testing harnesses for data masking and secure test-data management
• Hands-on experience with Deque axe or equivalent tooling for Section 508/WCAG accessibility compliance testing (move this out of Preferred, since it's a required, team-wide skill)
• Demonstrated ownership of a test data strategy: provisioning, refresh, subsetting, and environment-specific data governance

Required Skills:

• Strong working knowledge of API and database testing, including SQL
• Fluency with Agile delivery and defect/test management tooling such as Jira, Zephyr, TestRail, or Xray
• Proficiency with Jira/Xray, Confluence, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps as the shared baseline toolset across the QE team
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred:

• Prior work on federal, state, or local government programs
• Performance and load testing experience with JMeter or equivalent tools
• Security testing experience with Veracode (add to the existing SAST/DAST/OWASP Top 10)
• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerized environments
