Job Description

The Senior Quality Assurance Analyst / Automation Engineer provides the strategic mind and technical means for testing all aspects of a software solution, balancing both deep functional analysis and robust technical automation. In this hybrid role, you will be a key driver on a team responsible for both functional testing and expanding the automation infrastructure of our state-of-the-art web-based judicial case management system. This is an exciting opportunity for a professional who loves diving into business requirements, designing thorough test cases, and translating them into code. You will plug directly into a well-established automation framework utilizing the latest Selenium WebDriver, delivering continuous automated testing and reporting throughout the development cycle.
