Software Test Automation Engineer

TIAG is now hiring an experienced Software Test Automation Engineer to join our development team delivering enterprise human performance management software to the US military. In this role, the Test Engineer will be the bridge between code development and quality assurance. This position requires US or Naturalized Citizenship to be considered and is 100% remote.

 
The primary focus of this position is developing comprehensive test plans and writing automated tests and unit tests for a single-page web application, across multiple browsers and embedded in native mobile applications, spanning the full stack from mobile, to frontend, backend and database. You will also support the maintenance of our testing processes and CI/CD pipelines by identifying and applying industry best practices and key performance indicators to ensure high code standards, quality benchmarks, security requirements and system reliability.

Responsibilities include:
Test Development & Execution

• Automation: Develop and update automated test scripts for web applications, APIs and native mobile apps.
• Unit Testing: Assist the development team by writing unit tests to validate individual components of the codebase.
• Full-Stack Testing: Perform verification across all layers, including Frontend (UI), Backend (API/Services), and Data (Database integrity).
• Tool Operation: Configure and utilize static analysis tools (to check code quality) and dynamic analysis tools (to check runtime behavior) as part of the regular testing cycle.

Continuous Integration (CI/CD)

• Jenkins Utilization: Monitor and optimize Jenkins automated test jobs and builds.
• Pipeline Feedback: Configure and produce test result artifacts from the CI/CD pipeline to communicate failures and KPIs to the development and product teams.

Documentation & Quality Standards

• Test Artifacts: Design, author and maintain detailed Test Plans, Test Data, Test Cases, and Test Summary Reports
• Traceability: Categorize and map tests to feature sets to ensure every feature is accounted for and verified.
• Process Documentation: Document automated testing workflows and maintain guides for other team members.
• Defect Reporting: Create clear, reproducible, and well-documented bug reports, tracking them through to resolution.

• 3 years of experience in a test engineering role utilizing automated testing tools (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, or Postman Enterprise).
• Proficiency working within a Jenkins environment to execute and monitor builds.
• Familiarity with running Static Analysis (e.g., SonarQube) and Dynamic Analysis (e.g., Veracode or OWASP tools).
• Ability to read and write complex automated test scripts, browser control scripts, and unit tests (e.g., in PHP, JavaScript, Python, or Java).
• Proficiency within a shell and experience with environment variables and script execution and an interest in DevOPs.
• Understanding of how to design test data and code automated tests for both client-side interfaces (with element selection and browser interaction) and server-side logic.
• History of using testing harnesses to test web applications cross-browser, and native applications in iOS and Android (e.g., Selenium, BrowserStack, Appium).
• A passion for "getting it in writing" and ensuring documentation is never an afterthought. Experience in applying strategies that utilize annotation in/near code for automated generation of documentation. 
• Proven ability to work alongside developers to find solutions rather than just pointing out problems.
• Experience managing multiple testing priorities across different features without losing track of progress.
