• Log, track, and verify defects through resolution using tools such as Jira or Azure DevOps
• Collaborate with developers, product owners, and QA team members in Agile ceremonies

• Support testing of modern application features, including AI-enabled functionality such as search, recommendations, or chat-based components

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of QA / software testing experience within enterprise web applications
• 3+ years of automation experience using Selenium WebDriver (Selenium IDE alone is not sufficient)
• Hands-on experience with API testing tools such as Postman or SoapUI
• Working knowledge of SQL for data validation and testing purposes
• Experience working within Agile/Scrum teams
• Strong understanding of test planning, test case design, and defect management
• Ability to obtain a Public Trust clearance

• Experience with Section 508 accessibility testing and tools such as JAWS
• Exposure to AI-assisted testing approaches or testing AI-enabled applications
• Experience working in federal, government, or other compliance-driven environments
• Familiarity with QA tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail, or Confluence
