As a Senior Software Engineer, you will operate across the entire technology stack. You will build Playwright automated testing suites, develop Python scripts for dynamic test data setup, design self-service web interfaces in React, and construct automated CI/CD pipelines in AWS. Working in a complex, multi-vendor government ecosystem, you will serve as a technical guide and gatekeeper—helping third-party vendor teams identify bugs, improve release velocity, and transition to modern CI/CD practices.

Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable end-to-end (E2E) automated UI and API test suites using Playwright and TypeScript across multiple product verticals.

• Design and build automated data generation tools and synthetic applicant profile generators using Python and REST APIs to replace manual data setup processes.

• Develop user-friendly front-end tools in React and TypeScript that enable external vendor teams and government stakeholders to generate test scenarios on demand and monitor pipeline status.

• Construct, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines to support quality gates and feature-driven promotion practices.

• Lead rotating sprint triage efforts to debug system failures across a complex multi-vendor environment, accurately isolating whether issues stem from cloud environment changes, vendor code releases, or test configurations.

• Provide actionable feedback through thorough code reviews and 1:1 mentorship, bake high code quality standards into deliverables, and help set team development patterns.

• Serve as a trusted technical liaison to client leads and external vendor teams, advocating for developer self-service, smooth release gatekeeping, and collaborative troubleshooting.

• Support cloud infrastructure updates using Terraform, embed automated security scanning, and navigate continuous compliance processes in a FedRAMP/Public Trust environment.

Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience developing full-stack applications and tooling using TypeScript and Python.

• Practical experience writing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and leveraging infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform.

• Experience designing complex systems that interact with multiple external services, databases, and third-party APIs.

• Proven experience working on cross-functional agile teams, estimating complex engineering tasks, and directly communicating technical updates to client stakeholders.

• Strong diagnostic skills for troubleshooting complex, distributed multi-vendor application failures and microservices.

• Prior experience working on federal government digital service projects or civic tech programs.

• Familiarity with AWS GovCloud environments, FedRAMP compliance standards, and observability tooling such as DataDog.

• Experience implementing synthetic test data generators or complex mock data services for enterprise integrations.
