About The Position

The Opportunity: 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, a 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 work with testers, developers, and engineers as part of a team evaluating software developed for national defense. You’ll help develop a test plan with test cases based on user stories. 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 systems. Join us. The world can’t wait.
