About The Position

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 cross-functional teams and users to evaluate software developed for our law enforcement team. You'll create test plans and test cases, based on user stories. Through a deliberate blend of functional and automation testing, you'll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the software 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 analytics applications, host platforms, and data. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test, creating libraries, and building ground-up frameworks. You'll also broaden your experience in automation testing, cloud, and enterprise systems, and gain skills in new areas such as automation and cloud computing, while sharing your testing experience with your team. Work with us as we develop software solutions to protect our public and internal workforce. Join us. The world can't wait.
