What You'll Do

• Design maintainable automation frameworks for UI, API, integration, data, contract, performance, and other appropriate test layers.
• Develop automated tests with clear assertions, reusable components, controlled data, and actionable failure diagnostics.
• Integrate automated suites into CI/CD with effective triggers, parallelization, reporting, retry controls, and quality gates.

• Partner with developers, analysts, UX, security, and DevOps to improve testability and acceptance criteria early.
• Review automation code, mentor contributors, and establish coding, data, environment, and evidence standards.

• Join an established small business with more than 20 years of experience supporting customers and solving complex technology and mission needs.
• Work remotely within the United States while contributing to meaningful customer outcomes.
• Take ownership of complex work and collaborate directly with experienced technical and program professionals.
