Automation Test Engineer

Automation Test Engineer

Improvix Technologies | Federal Program | Washington, DC

Compensation: $140,000 – $150,000

Location: Washington, DC (Foggy Bottom) — hybrid, 3 days onsite / 2 days remote

Clearance: Active Secret clearance required.

Employment Type: Full-Time

THE REGRESSION SUITE IS THE JOB, NOT THE SIDE PROJECT

On most programs, automation is what somebody promises to get to after the release. The suite goes stale, half the scripts fail for reasons nobody investigates, and the team quietly goes back to running the same 200 manual cases every sprint.

Improvix Technologies is hiring an Automation Tester for an active federal program in Washington, DC. You'll build and maintain Automation Framework tools and scripts that covers regression, run it in the CI pipeline, and validate what the application writes to the database — not just what it renders on the screen.

This is hands-on testing work with real ownership. You'll write the scripts, read the failures, decide whether it's a defect or a flaky locator, and be the person who can say with confidence whether a build is safe to ship.

BONUS POINTS

WORKING HERE

Improvix Technologies delivers secure, modern, integrated technology solutions that keep the nation's most critical systems running. We're small enough that a good idea reaches a decision-maker in a day, and close enough to the mission that you'll know exactly what your work supports.

A straight answer on schedule: three days onsite at Foggy Bottom, two days remote. The onsite days are set by the program, not chosen week to week, and they're where sprint ceremonies and stakeholder time land. It isn't a preference we'd trade away later, so we'd rather you know now.

How quality actually works here: testers are in requirements conversations before code is written, and a “no-go” from QA is a real outcome, not a formality. You'll be expected to have a view and to back it with evidence.

Ready to apply? Send us your résumé. If there's a framework you built from scratch, a flaky suite you made trustworthy, or a defect you caught that would have been ugly in production, tell us about it — that's the conversation we want to have.
