About The Position

Sealing Technologies, a Parsons Company, is looking to hire an experienced Software Quality Control Engineer to own software quality across our delivery pipeline. In this role, you will build and maintain the automation, testing, and release validation that ensures software is deployed reliably and performs to standard in production environments. You will work hands-on across containerized and orchestrated infrastructure, embedding quality controls directly into the build and deployment process rather than treating testing as a downstream activity.
