Cloud Data Quality Assurance Specialist

The Opportunity:

When a user tries a new system, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful information systems—and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, a quality assurance analyst who’s eager to help thoroughly test software and ensure that our team releases the best system possible.

As a quality assurance consultant on our team, you’ll work with data engineers that evaluate developed systems for the Veterans Administration. You’ll help develop and implement a test plan based on user stories. Using Azure, Oracle, and AWS-based data, you’ll generate problem resolutions and track quality assurance standards to observe how the system performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool. You’ll expand upon your experience in various types of testing, including manual and automated. This is an opportunity to broaden your skills in documenting, solving system deficiencies, automation, and Cloud computing. Work with us to develop systems solutions that help our nation’s veterans.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
