About The Position

Milliman’s Milwaukee Property and Casualty practice develops innovative products and provides actuarial consulting services. Milliman Datalytics-Defense® is an e-billing solution designed for the analytical needs of insurance companies. The platform supports the submission, review, and payment of defense attorney invoices and includes dynamic workflows, escalation paths, auditing capabilities, and configurable business rules. It also captures and presents data that helps clients manage defense firms through peer comparisons and predictive analytics. Our Datalytics team is looking for a Software QA Analyst to support the delivery of secure, reliable, and high-quality software. This role is ideal for an experienced manual QA professional who brings strong analytical skills, sound testing judgment, and the ability to identify issues across the user interface, APIs, and data layer. Our ideal candidate loves to hunt down a bug, as much as they enjoy solving a puzzle, and they know how to prioritize what goes into the backlog. Even when tasks feel repetitive or mundane, they never lose sight of the little details that mean a lot to our clients. This role will benefit from your experience testing web applications, designing and executing test coverage for new features, enhancements, integrations, and defect fixes. This role also requires experience validating security-related requirements and supporting penetration testing efforts, including reproducing findings and validating remediation. This manual testing role will complement our automated testing role, and we are looking for someone who can apply a practical, risk-based approach to testing in a fast-moving Agile environment. Joining this small, remote team requires proactive and open communication, adaptability, and a willingness to work closely with developers and product managers throughout the development lifecycle.
