About The Position

CACI is seeking a HCM Test Automation & Quality Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and compliance of the Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM platform being deployed across the federal government as part of the HCM modernization program. With federal civilian employees depending on this system for their pay, benefits, and career management across multiple federal agencies, there is no room for defects in production. You will design and execute comprehensive test strategies covering functional, integration, regression, performance, security, accessibility, and user acceptance testing. Working within a SAFe Agile continuous testing framework, you will build automated test suites, execute parallel payroll validation, ensure Section 508 accessibility compliance, and coordinate UAT with agency stakeholders. Every Oracle quarterly update, every agency migration wave, and every integration endpoint must be validated before it touches the production environment. If you are passionate about quality at scale and thrive in high-stakes testing environments, this role is for you. This role is remote, but with a preference to individuals in the DMV area.
