Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Sustainment as an employer.

What you need

  • Senior-level experience in QA and test automation (6+ years)
  • Deep hands-on skill with modern test-automation frameworks (Playwright preferred, Cypress, or similar) and API testing
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab a plus)
  • A track record of building an automated suite up from partial or manual coverage
  • Genuinely comfortable staying hands-on
  • Some experience mentoring engineers or owning QA processes for a small team

Nice to have

  • Experience with AI-assisted testing tools and workflows
  • Delivery into regulated/federal environments (FedRAMP, CUI, DoD)
  • B2B SaaS and/or manufacturing / supply-chain domain experience
  • Exposure to data or analytics testing
  • Experience testing agentic / multi-agent systems and prompt-driven workflows

What you get

  • Medical, dental, vision
  • Paid time off
  • Company holidays
  • 401K matching

Worth weighing

  • Role is heavily focused on hands-on testing and automation, not pure management
  • Candidates must be eligible for a U.S. Secret or Top Secret security clearance, which may limit applicant pool
  • Company is moving to a daily release cadence, which may imply a fast-paced work environment
