Job Description

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, security, and user experience are keys to successful software development – and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly security test software and work with developers and engineers to make sure our team releases of applications, systems and networking assets are secure and compliant.

As a security test engineer on our team, you’ll work with engineers and developers to evaluate software and systems developed for the Department of Defense. You’ll work on building a security test plan with test cases based on Remedy and JIRA change requests. Using automated and manual processes, you’ll generate data and execute the test cases to see how the software performs against vulnerabilities, then document the results and communicate security risks to the development or engineering teams so they can start improving the software or system. You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor health of the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) and other testing tools. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing code to automate security processes. You’ll also further your experience in engineering secure solutions for the testing team and explore new areas like cloud computing.

Work with us as we develop software solutions to secure our defense networks.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
