You are

A quality-focused engineer who believes quality is built into delivery rather than inspected in at the end. You use automation, risk-based testing, data, and engineering judgment to create confidence across federal applications and releases. You may be strengthening your automation foundation or already be ready to independently own quality for features, services, or delivery workstreams. As your scope grows, you may progress from building and maintaining automated tests to defining quality strategy, improving test frameworks, leading performance/security/accessibility validation, mentoring engineers, and shaping quality standards across teams or programs.

The work

• Design, build, maintain, and execute automated tests across UI, API, integration, regression, smoke, and end-to-end testing layers.
• Partner with product and engineering teams early in delivery to clarify acceptance criteria, identify quality risks, and improve testability.
• Create test plans, test data, defect workflows, reporting, and quality metrics that support release decisions and continuous improvement.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and help teams shift quality left throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Validate APIs, web applications, data flows, integrations, and cloud-based applications across functional and nonfunctional requirements.
• Support performance, security, accessibility, Section 508, compliance-oriented, and reliability validation as program needs require.
• Use AFS-approved AI-assisted testing and engineering tools to accelerate test design, automation, analysis, defect investigation, and documentation while validating results.
• Collaborate with Digital Experience Engineers, Business Application Engineers, Product Managers, Cloud Platform Engineers, architects, security teams, and client stakeholders.
• As your experience grows, lead quality strategy for larger product areas, improve frameworks and dashboards, mentor others, and establish quality engineering standards across teams.

Here's what you need

• Professional experience in software quality engineering, test automation, SDET, QA automation, or comparable engineeri
