Overview

We are hiring multiple QA Engineers to support a highly secure and confidential government-adjacent initiative developing next-generation connectivity and communications platforms. The program is tied to critical infrastructure and involves Department of Defense–related technologies, requiring exceptional attention to quality, detail, and operational reliability.

You’ll be responsible for both manual and automated testing across web and mobile interfaces—delivering stable, scalable software in a fast-paced engineering environment. This role is ideal for hands-on QA professionals who want to work on real-world platforms that support national-level initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, write, and execute comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and manual test cases for new and existing features
• Build and maintain scalable test infrastructure for cross-platform (web/mobile) applications
• Extend existing automation frameworks to maintain an effective regression test suite
• Participate in release cycles, defect tracking, root cause analysis, and triage
• Collaborate across QA, product, and development teams to deliver high-confidence releases
• Provide leadership on testing best practices and contribute to secure, compliant software validation

Must-Have Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in software quality assurance, including manual and automation testing
• Proven track record leading QA for medium-to-large projects
• Experience with modern QA tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Appium)
• Strong knowledge of JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and RESTful services
• Excellent problem-solving skills, debugging ability, and test case design
• Ability to work onsite in a controlled-access, secure facility

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience testing across both iOS and Android environments
• Familiarity with frameworks such as Mocha, Jasmine, Protractor, or TestNG
• Experience with CI/CD systems, GitLab, or Jenkins
• BS in Computer Science or related technical field preferred
• Comfortable working in a regulated or high-compliance environment

Why Apply?

• Be part of a mission-critical engineering initiative supporting secure U.S.-based technology
• Join a team delivering systems that require real-time performance, reliability, and compliance
• Work in a modern, fast-paced QA environment with the latest toolsets and infrastructure

This is a highly visible role contributing directly to secure platforms with long-term national impact. If you're ready to apply your QA expertise to a next-level project, we want to talk.
