Job Description
Senior Software Engineer focused on test automation supporting CMS's modernization efforts. Design and maintain test frameworks while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as a senior engineer supporting CMS's modernization efforts, turning manual test cycles into automated, observable, fast-feedback systems that scale with the mission.
- Design, build, and maintain test automation frameworks across the stack so quality is engineered in, not inspected at the end.
- Champion shift-left quality: pair with developers on test strategy, push coverage upstream, and make sure quality is everyone's job, not a gate at the end of the pipeline.
- Write real software (Python, preferably) to build test harnesses, fixtures, data generators, and tooling that developers actually want to use.
- Own the API and UI automation layers, browser automation, and accessibility coverage where it counts.
- Integrate tests deeply into CI/CD - parallelized, sharded, and tuned so the feedback loop is measured in minutes, not coffee breaks.
- Hunt down flakiness like it's personal. Quarantine it, root-cause it, fix it, and put guardrails in place so it doesn't come back.
- Design performance, load, and chaos experiments so the team knows how the system behaves before real users find out.
- Contribute to architectural decisions, technical roadmaps, and engineering best practices across the program. Oh, and mentor the engineers around you while you're at it.
- Partner cross-functionally with product, security, customer experience, and platform teams to keep delivery moving and the mission front and center.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
- 10+ years of progressive software engineering experience, with deep specialization in test automation and quality engineering at production scale
- Strong programming chops in at least one modern language (preferably Python and TypeScript) and the judgment to know which one fits the job
- Deep, hands-on experience designing and maintaining test automation frameworks (unit, integration, end-to-end, and performance)
- Production experience with browser and API automation tools (Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, REST Assured, Postman/Newman, Pact, or similar)
- Solid experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
- Comfort with performance and load testing tooling (k6, JMeter, or similar) and a working understanding of what “good” looks like
- Working knowledge of containerized test environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
- A well-rounded engineering profile: you can read production code, pair with developers, and ship features when the team needs to roll up its sleeves
- Strong understanding of secure coding and DevSecOps practices.
Benefits:
- Medical, dental, vision insurance (fully paid for employees)
- 15 days of paid leave
- 7 days of sick leave
- 2 days bereavement leave
- 11 paid Federal holidays
- Up to 40 hours for jury duty
- 401K with 4% employer contribution (and no vesting period)
- Up to 4 weeks of paid paternity and maternity leave
- Company provided laptop
- $5,000 per year for professional development
- $600 per year for technical supplies and equipment
- $2,000 referral bonus
- Life and disability insurance
- HSA and FSA
- Legal Shield and ID Shield Voluntary Benefits
- Opportunity to work in a collaborative, motivated team focused on modernizing government services with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.
