Duties:
  • Unit-level and system-level testing.
  • Ability to navigate a code base to find a class with little guidance.
  • Understanding of basic git commands and version control.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
