Software Quality Assurance Engineer

Savan is hiring a Software Quality Assurance Engineer to support HUB, an enterprise web application for EPMO processes and workflows. The role focuses on manual testing, defect investigation, release validation, and targeted front-end fixes to ensure application quality, reliability, usability, and accessibility.

Responsibilities:

• Review requirements, acceptance criteria, and proposed changes to identify gaps, edge cases, regression risks, and potential impacts on existing application functionality
• Plan and execute manual functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing for new features, defect fixes, and releases
• Validate end-to-end workflows across user roles, including permissions, edit rights, field visibility, approvals, data validation, and authorization-dependent behavior
• Develop reusable test cases with prerequisites, test data, expected results, and supporting evidence
• Reproduce, document, and track defects with clear steps, expected versus actual results, severity, affected workflows, and supporting evidence
• Retest resolved defects and perform regression testing to verify fixes and identify unintended side effects
• Evaluate user-facing functionality for usability and accessibility, including keyboard navigation, focus behavior, labels, error messages, and applicable Section 508/WCAG considerations
• Use browser developer tools, API responses, application logs, and basic SQL queries to investigate issues across the user interface, APIs, backend services, data, permissions, and environments
• Collaborate with developers and stakeholders to investigate defects, assess technical risks, and recommend practical improvements to application behavior
• Maintain accurate defect records, test results, work-item updates, and supporting evidence in Azure DevOps, Jira, or a comparable platform
• Support release readiness and post-deployment verification in Test and production environments, prioritizing critical workflows, role-sensitive functionality, and high-risk changes
• Maintain regression coverage by identifying high-risk workflows for recurring release testing and communicating unresolved quality risks
• Investigate and implement targeted front-end fixes and enhancements using JavaScript/TypeScript and React or a comparable framework
• Troubleshoot and improve component behavior, forms, tables, filtering, validation, responsive layouts, and client-side data-fetching behavior
• Where applicable, work with Material UI (MUI), MUI Data Grid, and React Query/TanStack Query to investigate UI behavior, loading and error states, caching, query invalidation, and state synchronization
• Validate code changes through appropriate functional and regression testing to ensure fixes do not disrupt existing functionality

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a minimum of 6 years of relevant IT experience
• US Citizen and able to obtain a public trust or or other required suitability
• Professional experience testing, building, troubleshooting, or supporting web applications in a production environment
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing manual functional and regression tests, translating requirements into test cases, and documenting reproducible defects
• Experience validating end-to-end workflows, forms, data validation, role-based permissions, and edge cases
• Ability to independently identify potential regression impacts and design test scenarios beyond stated acceptance criteria
• Hands-on experience troubleshooting and modifying JavaScript/TypeScript web applications, including React or a comparable front-end framework, and implementing targeted fixes
• Working knowledge of browser developer tools and basic API concepts for investigating application behavior
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written communication, and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage testing activities independently, maintain clear documentation, and collaborate effectively with technical and nontechnical stakeholders
• Experience with React and TypeScript in modern web applications
• Familiarity with Material UI (MUI), MUI Data Grid, or comparable component libraries
• Experience with React Query/TanStack Query or similar client-side data-fetching and server-state management libraries
• Experience testing REST APIs and applications supported by .NET or comparable backend services
• Basic SQL proficiency and experience with SQL Server or similar relational databases
• Experience with Azure DevOps, Jira, or comparable tools for defect tracking, test documentation, and release traceability
• Familiarity with Section 508/WCAG accessibility standards and accessibility testing
• Exposure to Postman, Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or comparable API/UI testing tools
• Automation experience is beneficial but is not the primary focus
• Experience supporting federal government applications or projects with formal testing, evidence, release approval, and production verification requirements
• Experience working in Agile environments, including sprint delivery, defect triage, and release readiness reviews
