• Contribute to quality engineering standards and automation best practices across the organization
• Use AI-assisted tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms to support test development, debugging, root-cause analysis, documentation, and workflow efficiency

• 5+ years of experience in test automation, quality engineering, or software development in test
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript

• Ability to troubleshoot complex system interactions and automation failures
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence quality practices across teams
• Ability and willingness to use AI-assisted tools effectively to improve test automation, debugging, technical analysis, and documentation
• Due to this role’s involvement with FedRAMP compliance requirements, qualified candidates must be a U.S. Person

• Experience testing privileged access management or identity-centric security products
• Familiarity with cloud or security automation frameworks
• Exposure to remote access protocols such as SSH, RDP, and VNC
