• Write and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles for infrastructure automation and application deployment.
• Establish and enforce quality standards, test strategy, and release acceptance criteria across software deliverables.
• Execute functional, integration, regression, and performance testing across development, staging, and production environments.
• Identify, document, and track defects through resolution; lead root cause analysis and verify corrective actions.
• Develop and maintain quality metrics, test coverage reporting, and release readiness assessments.
• Mentor engineers on testing practices, automation standards, and quality engineering methodology.

Minimum Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
• 8 years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, DevOps, or platform engineering.
• Experience with Kubernetes, including cluster setup, workload deployment, networking, and day to day troubleshooting.
• Experience writing and maintaining Ansible playbooks and roles for infrastructure automation and application deployment.
• Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and/or GitHub Actions.
• Experience containerizing applications using Docker or similar tooling.
• Experience designing and implementing automated test coverage integrated into CI/CD workflows.
• Proficiency with at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash)
• Experience with defect tracking, root cause analysis, and corrective action processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Secret clearance or ability to obtain one.
• Experience supporting DoD or federal programs.
• Experience with test automation frameworks (pytest, Selenium, Playwright, Robot Framework, or equivalent).
• Experience with performance and load testing tools.
• Experience with Agile development practices and tooling (Jira, Confluence).
• Experience with quality management systems or formal QA methodology.
