Test Engineer

Test Engineer

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 teams, you’ll work with developers, ETL engineers, data engineers, UI engineers, and DevSecOps practitioners to evaluate custom software delivered across critical investigative, analytical, and data‑processing systems. You’ll create test plans and test cases based on user stories and system workflows. Using both automated and manual approaches, you’ll generate data, execute test cases, validate behavior, and document results — ensuring defects are clearly communicated and resolved quickly. 

You’ll automate regression, security, and performance testing and monitor the health of complex cloud‑native, distributed applications that span UI, backend, ETL pipelines, and search or indexing systems. This is an opportunity to supercharge your skills by writing test code, developing automation frameworks, and working with tools like Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, and AWS as part of enterprise‑scale, multi‑enclave delivery. 

You’ll broaden your experience in cloud development, distributed systems, and advanced ingestion pipelines — and gain new skills in areas such as automation, cloud computing, and search-based analytics — while sharing your testing expertise with your teammates. 

Work with us as we develop software solutions that directly support national security- related missions. 

Join us. The world can’t wait.
