Job Description
Required - Top 3:
- DoD enterprise application testing experience — They need someone who has worked in a federal/defense environment and understands how testing works within DoD compliance frameworks like RMF.
- Test automation framework hands-on experience — Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, Robot Framework, and BDD tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow. They need to be able to build and maintain automated test suites, not just execute manual test cases.
- CI/CD pipeline integration — Specifically GitLab. They need someone who can wire automated tests into a development pipeline, so testing runs automatically. This is the technical differentiator between a mid-level tester and the senior profile this role requires.
Specific Outcome: This Position Will Produce: Every Spectrum XXI software release goes live fully tested, validated, and compliant with DoD requirements with zero reliance on manual testing
Typical Day-to-Day:
- Build and maintain automated tests so the software can be validated quickly and repeatedly without manual testing every time
- Make sure every software update passes before it goes live — regression, integration, performance
- Write test scripts using tools like Selenium, Cypress, and Cucumber
- Plug all of that testing into GitLab so it runs automatically in the development pipeline
- Work with the cybersecurity team to make sure security controls are being tested too
- Lead and mentor junior test engineers on the team
Years’ Experience/Degree Requirements/Certification: 8+ years in software/system testing with a focus on DoD enterprise applications
