About The Position

CAI is seeking a QA/Disaster Recovery Test Engineer to execute test plans and lead recurring DR test cycles for an AWS GovCloud hosting environment supporting a state government health and human services client. This role owns test execution for a program-monitoring hosting environment, with a focus on validating that disaster-recovery failover meets defined recovery objectives and that data remains intact through migration and failover events. This position works closely with the Technical Development Lead and DevOps/SRE team and will have concentrated involvement during initial build/transition and recurring semi-annual test cycles at steady state. Only candidates without a need for sponsorship now or in the future will be considered.

Requirements

3+ years of QA or test engineering experience in cloud environments
Hands-on AWS GovCloud (US) experience — not commercial AWS alone
Experience validating disaster-recovery failover against defined RPO/RTO targets
Must be a U.S. citizen — this role has hands-on-keyboard access to the GovCloud environment

Nice To Haves

Experience with data validation and reconciliation at scale (checksums, referential integrity checks)
Experience in HIPAA-regulated or PHI-scale environments
AWS certification

Responsibilities

Execute test plans validating disaster-recovery failover across two GovCloud regions against defined recovery-point and recovery-time objectives
Lead recurring DR test cycles, documenting results and tracking remediation items to closure
Validate data integrity after failover or migration events — row counts, checksums, referential integrity, and dashboard output comparison against the source environment
Support cutover rehearsals during transition, including rollback-procedure validation
Partner with the Technical Development Lead and DevOps/SRE team on test environment setup
