Job Description:

Software Test Engineer, Senior

Qualifications, skills, and all relevant experience needed for this role can be found in the full description below.

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, an experienced 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 use your experience to work with cross-functional teams and users to evaluate software developed for our law enforcement team. You'll create test plans and test cases, based on user stories. Through a deliberate blend of functional and automation testing, 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 analytics applications, host platforms, and data. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing the code to test, creating libraries, and building ground-up frameworks. You'll also broaden your experience in automation testing, cloud, and enterprise systems, and gain skills in new areas such as automation and cloud computing, while sharing your testing experience with your team.

Work with us as we develop software solutions to protect our public and internal workforce.

Join us. The world can't wait.

You Have:

Experience designing and executing test scripts, test plans, and procedures and documenting the expected and actual results
Experience with automation testing frameworks
Experience creating and updating automated test cases or scripts
Top Secret clearance
Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of experience with software testing, or 14+ years of experience with software testing in lieu of a degree

Nice If You Have:

Experience with programming in Python, JavaScript, or Java
Experience with backend testing, API testing, UI testing, and DB queries
Experience testing cloud-based architectures
Experience integrating test frameworks with CI/CD pipelines
Experience with an Agile release methodology
