Description:

We are seeking a Senior Quality Analyst to play a key role in a highly specialized, mission-critical elections system project. This position is deeply embedded with a single state agency customer , providing end-to-end quality assurance and ensuring delivery excellence on a unique codebase within a highly visible governance context.

What Makes This Role Special
  • Embedded in Customer Project : Deliver directly alongside the state election/business services office, with their full context and delivery expectations guiding your day-to-day work.
  • High-Impact Delivery : Ensure robustness of systems that support election operations and business operations and ethics oversight—quality is both essential and visible.
  • Quality Leadership : As the senior QA voice, shape testing strategy, tooling, metrics, and QA culture in collaboration with both Civix and the state team.
Key Responsibilities

Shift-Left & Early QA Involvement

  • Balance exploratory and usability testing with automation, reflecting agile best practices.

Test Automation & Framework Evolution

  • Define and expand an automation strategy that handles regression, API, performance, and accessibility tests.
  • Drive continuous testing as part of CI/CD pipelines—supporting frequent, reliable validation.

Metrics & Continuous Improvement

  • Track and report key quality metrics—defect density, automation coverage, MTTR, leakages, and test execution trends.
  • Use these insights to iterate on the QA process, tools, and strategic direction.

Alignment of Requirements and Validation

  • Ensure traceability from requirements through to validation (verification & validation alignment).
  • Help mitigate miscommunication risks between evolving requirements and QA testing scope.

Adaptive Agile Practice

  • Participate in sprint planning, refining, and retrospectives to adjust QA approach iteratively.
  • Encourage cross-functional collaboration and responsiveness to changing priorities.

Mentorship & Leadership

  • Mentor junior QA staff and help expand QA capabilities within the customer team.
  • Act as the QA champion within an embedded agile environment.
