Quality Assurance Tester / Front-End Developer

• Plan and execute manual functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing across new features, bug fixes, and releases.
• Validate workflows from the perspective of different user roles, including role-based permissions, edit rights, visibility, approvals, and other authorization-dependent behavior.
• Write clear, reusable test cases with expected results, test data, prerequisites, and evidence sufficient for repeatable regression testing.
• Reproduce defects consistently and document concise reproduction steps, expected versus actual behavior, screenshots or other evidence, severity, and impacted roles/workflows.
• Review requirements and acceptance criteria before development is complete to identify ambiguity, missing edge cases, usability risks, and testability gaps.
• Implement targeted front-end fixes and enhancements using React, TypeScript, Material UI (MUI), and React Query / TanStack Query, including component behavior, forms, tables, filtering, validation, data fetching/caching, state synchronization, and responsive layout.
• Evaluate usability and accessibility of user-facing changes, including keyboard behavior, labels, focus, readable states, error messaging, and Section 508/WCAG considerations.
• Use browser developer tools, API responses, logs, and basic SQL queries to isolate whether issues originate in the UI, API, data, permissions, or environment.
• Maintain disciplined Azure DevOps work-item updates and test evidence so defects, retests, release readiness, and production verification are traceable.
• Support release validation in Test and production, including post-deployment verification of critical workflows and role-sensitive functionality.
• Partner with developers and stakeholders to challenge confusing behavior and propose practical user-experience improvements that reduce errors and support effort.
• Contribute to regression-suite maintenance and continuously identify high-risk workflows that should be added to recurring release testing., Final compensation will be determined based on factors including relevant experience, skills, education, certifications, internal equity, market conditions, and geographic location. For positions supporting federal contracts, compensation may also be subject to applicable labor category requirements, contract terms, funding, and other contract-specific provisions. As a result, actual compensation may vary from the posted salary range.

• Professional experience building, testing, or supporting modern web applications in a production environment.
• Demonstrated manual functional and regression testing experience, including the ability to translate requirements and acceptance criteria into repeatable test cases.
• Hands-on React and TypeScript experience, or comparable front-end framework experience with the ability to become productive in React/TypeScript quickly; familiarity with component libraries and client-side data-fetching patterns used in modern React applications.
• Ability to document high-quality defect reproduction steps and communicate technical issues clearly to developers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of browser developer tools and basic API concepts for troubleshooting web-application behavior.
• Basic SQL literacy sufficient to validate data, investigate discrepancies, and collaborate effectively with backend/database developers.
• Experience validating role-based permissions, user workflows, field behavior, error conditions, and edge cases.
• Awareness of accessibility and Section 508/WCAG principles for user-facing web applications.
• Experience working with Azure DevOps, Jira, or a comparable work-management platform to maintain defects, acceptance evidence, and release traceability.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical problem-solving, communication, accountability, adaptability, and ability to work collaboratively in an iterative delivery environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Material UI (MUI), MUI Data Grid or similar component libraries, and table-heavy business applications or complex enterprise forms and workflows.
• Experience with React Query / TanStack Query or comparable client-side server-state/data-fetching libraries, including query invalidation, caching, loading/error states, and API-driven UI behavior. Experience validating front ends that integrate with REST APIs and .NET or comparable backend services.
• Experience working in a React 18 / TypeScript environment using MUI, MUI Data Grid, and TanStack Query / React Query is strongly preferred.
• Experience with SQL Server or similar relational databases.
• Exposure to automated UI or API testing tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman, or comparable tools. Automation is helpful but is not the primary requirement for this role.
• Experience supporting federal government applications, Section 508 testing, or environments with formal release and evidence requirements.
• Experience participating in Agile sprint delivery, defect triage, release readiness reviews, and production verification.
