## Description

Dark Wolf is looking for a Senior System Test Engineer to plan, develop, and execute end-to-end testing for a hybrid cloud digital system supporting mission applications.

A successful candidate will serve as a technical leader, architecting scalable test suites using modern test automation frameworks while executing system testing, security controls validation, and application-layer verification across Kubernetes environments.

This position requires onsite support at Hill AFB in Ogden, UT.

Key responsibilities include:

- Planning, developing, and executing end-to-end testing across a hybrid cloud digital system, including infrastructure, API integrations, security controls, and application-layer functionality.

- Architecting, developing, and maintaining scalable automated test suites across web applications and integrated platforms using Playwright (TypeScript/JavaScript or Python).

- Validating that systems meet approved functional, performance, reliability, security, and operational readiness requirements.

- Integrating automated test pipelines into continuous delivery workflows (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) to validate builds automatically.

- Managing containerized test execution environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) to ensure reliable, reproducible test runs across development and staging environments.

- Identifying, isolating, and logging complex system defects, managing defect lifecycles, and conducting root-cause analysis in collaboration with development teams.

- Producing objective test evidence, execution metrics, and readiness assessments to support release and operational decision-making.

- Adhering to strict security protocols, DoD compliance standards, and software QA best practices.

Required Qualifications:

- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field.

- Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, system testing, or SDET roles.

- Demonstrated hands-on expertise building, architecting, and scaling modern test automation frameworks using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium (with a strong preference for Playwright).

- Strong proficiency in programming and scripting languages, including TypeScript, JavaScript, or Python.

- Strong understanding of Linux systems administration, web application architectures, hybrid cloud concepts, and API testing methodologies.

- Proven proficiency with Agile software development, user interface analysis, defect management, and technical troubleshooting.

- Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate technical defects, QA metrics, test evidence, and testing strategies to cross-functional teams.

- US Citizenship and an active Top Secret security clearance required.

Desired Qualifications:

- Extensive experience with CI/CD concepts and methodologies, including building and maintaining automated test pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

- Extensive experience working with Kubernetes platforms (e.g., Rancher, EKS) and containerization technologies (Docker) for test execution and application deployment.

- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) for automated environment provisioning and test data seeding.

- Prior experience transitioning legacy test suites (e.g., Selenium, Cypress) to Playwright.

- Hands-on experience testing hybrid cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

- Experience with performance/load testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter) and database verification (SQL/NoSQL).

- Familiarity with security scanning, vulnerability management tools, and cybersecurity control validation.

- Relevant technical certifications (e.g., Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, Security+).

The estimated salary range for this position is $120,000.00 - $170,000.00, commensurate on experience and technical skillset.
