We are seeking a passionate QA Tester to join our ODIN team in support of the NGA. The Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer’s job is to reduce risk and increase confidence in our software across three different applications. This cross-functional role designs, creates, and executes both manual and automated tests, applies risk management principles to all code changes, and approaches each product systematically while using QA best practices and procedures. The QA Engineer helps ensure critical user workflows operate as expected, system/feature-level requirements are met, issues or failures are caught early with verifiable root cause, and the gap between what the government customer(s) expects and what developers build is closed.

Required Skills:

• 5+ years of QA experience on complex web applications, with strong ownership of manual end-to-end, system/feature-level regression, and exploratory testing based on real user workflows.
• Hands-on experience designing, creating, and executing test cases and test suites (both manual and automated), and managing test coverage across multiple applications.
• Strong UI automation skills using a modern framework such as Cypress, Playwright, or Selenium, including turning high-value manual flows into stable automated regression tests.
• Solid API testing experience (positive/negative cases, access control, parameter permutations, payload validation) using tools like Postman or similar.
• Experience validating “tricky” areas such as rarely used features, data/algorithm outputs, and establishing baselines to verify that changes in logic still produce expected results.
• Comfortable testing under different environments and conditions (e.g., varying network quality), managing or coordinating test environments, and working within CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven ability to document, track, and drive resolution of defects in tools like Gitlab, while guiding the team toward better quality awareness and participating in agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, demos, retros).

Nice to Have:

• Deep experience with Cypress (or equivalent) as a primary test automation framework, including extending or standardizing automation across multiple teams/applications.
• Experience defining QA best practices, coordinating testing efforts across teams, and contributing to continuous product and process improvement.
• Background testing geospatial, imagery, or other data-heavy analytical applications, or similar technically complex domains.
• Experience in government, defense, or other regulated environments where reliability, traceability, and auditability are critical.
• Active TS/SCI Security Clearance.
