Location: Vienna, VA
Work schedule: hybrid, onsite 3 days a week
Pay Rate: Open to Both W2 options and established 1099, no c2c
Position Type: Contract


LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY

This role is for a Quality Engineering/Test Automation professional with 5–10 years of experience who can design, develop, and maintain scalable automated testing solutions across web, mobile, API, CMS, and cloud-based applications. The position focuses heavily on test automation, CI/CD integration, accessibility testing, and AI-driven testing. The engineer will build automation frameworks, execute multiple types of testing, integrate testing into continuous delivery pipelines, and collaborate with engineering, product, and design teams to improve software quality. A particularly important aspect of the role is using AI-assisted testing to accelerate test creation, optimize regression testing, improve defect analysis, and generate better quality insights.

This role requires a 5–10 year Quality Engineer/SDET/Test Automation professional with deep automation-framework experience, Azure DevOps/CI/CD expertise, strong accessibility testing knowledge, and broad web/mobile/API testing experience. Candidates must have experience applying AI to software testing, rather than simply having general AI knowledge.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites.
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Perform functional, regression, integration, accessibility, performance, and cross-browser testing.
  • Test web, mobile, API, CMS, and enterprise applications.
  • Apply AI-assisted testing for test generation, regression optimization, defect analysis, and reporting.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product, and design teams.
  • Continuously improve testing processes, tools, automation coverage, and quality practices.

In this role, you will design, develop, and maintain automated testing solutions across web, mobile, API, CMS, and cloud-based platforms while partnering closely with engineering, product, and design system teams. This is an excellent opportunity for a quality engineering professional who is passionate about automation, accessibility, AI-driven testing innovation, and delivering exceptional digital experiences.

The ideal candidate brings 5-10 years of experience in software quality engineering, test automation, and CI/CD practices, with a strong foundation in accessibility testing and modern engineering tools. You will play a key role in building scalable automation frameworks, improving testing processes, and integrating AI-enabled capabilities to accelerate test creation, optimize regression testing, enhance defect analysis, and improve overall quality outcomes.

What You'll Do
  • Design and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites
  • Integrate testing into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous delivery
  • Execute functional, regression, integration, accessibility, performance, and cross-browser testing
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality releases
  • Leverage AI-assisted testing capabilities to improve efficiency, coverage, and quality insights
  • Drive continuous improvement of testing practices, tools, and processes

What You'll Bring
  • 5-10 years of experience in software testing, quality engineering, or test automation
  • Strong experience with automated testing tools and frameworks
  • Experience with Azure DevOps, Git-based repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and test management tools
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG, ADA, Section 508) and assistive technologies
  • Experience testing web, mobile, API, and enterprise applications
  • Experience incorporating AI into testing processes, including test generation, defect analysis, regression optimization, or automated reporting
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills
