Manual Tester, Junior Jobs

The Opportunity:

When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development – and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible.

As a test engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with testers, developers, and engineers to evaluate software developed for the Veterans Administration. You’ll build a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using manual processes, you’ll generate data and execute the test cases to see how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool. You’ll participate and contribute to scrum daily standups, backlog grooming, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospectives. Perform as an integral part of the team and take ownership of tasks through the full test process including test planning, test case creation, execution, and test reporting.

Work with us as we build systems to change Veterans Affairs for the better.
