Full Job Description

Overview:

We are a cutting-edge Defense Innovation Company seeking a Senior QA Engineer to join our engineering organization and raise the bar for quality across our web application portfolio. This is not a manual testing role — it is a hands-on, heavy coding position for an engineer who treats test automation as a software discipline. You will architect, build, and maintain automation frameworks with the same rigor applied to production code, with Playwright at the center of your toolkit.

You'll operate with the autonomy and pace of a startup engineer, backed by the scale and resources of an enterprise. The ideal candidate has thrived on small, fast-moving teams and knows how to deliver quality at speed without heavyweight process.

This role is ideally based near one of FTI's office locations in Chesapeake, VA, Beavercreek, OH, Colorado Springs, CO, or Northern Virginia. Candidates in these markets will receive primary consideration. Exceptional remote candidates with highly relevant experience may also be considered.

Responsibilities:

Design, develop, and maintain robust end-to-end automation suites for complex web application workflows using Playwright with TypeScript/JavaScript
Leverage frontier LLM models to increase development velocity and code quality
Architect scalable, maintainable test frameworks and shared libraries adopted across multiple engineering teams
Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, confident, continuous delivery
Write production-quality code daily — page objects, fixtures, custom utilities, API test harnesses, and tooling
Partner with developers, product managers, and DevOps to shift quality left and embed testability into design and architecture decisions
Triage, root-cause, and drive resolution of defects and flaky tests; champion test reliability and meaningful coverage metrics
Mentor engineers on automation best practices and code review test code with a critical eye
Evaluate and introduce tools and practices that improve quality engineering velocity

Education/Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

Must be a U.S. Citizen AND possess an active U.S. Dept. of Defense Secret security clearance with TS/SCI eligibility.
Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (required)
5+ years of software quality engineering or software development experience
Extensive, demonstrable experience using Playwright to automate workflows in modern web applications
Strong professional experience writing JavaScript/TypeScript — you will be evaluated as a coder
Experience working in startups or small, fast-moving teams where you owned outcomes end-to-end
Solid understanding of CI/CD practices and integrating automated tests into build pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, ADO)
Deep knowledge of testing strategy: E2E, API, integration, and component testing trade-offs
Strong debugging skills across the stack — browser internals, network traffic, async behavior, race conditions
Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence quality practices across teams

Preferred Qualifications

BS in Computer Science or a closely related field (greatly preferred)
MS in Computer Science (preferred)
Experience with cloud platforms — GCP, AWS, or Azure
Experience with API testing, contract testing, or performance/load testing
Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code
Prior experience with scaling test automation in a large engineering organization
