Senior Software Tester Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

Vidoori is a digital transformation leader recognised for delivering excellence in cloud and software solutions. We are expanding our engineering capability and seek a motivated, hands‑on Senior Software Developer to join our team. This role focuses on delivering high‑quality software, contributing technical leadership within squads, and collaborating closely with product and design in an inclusive environment that values continuous learning and pragmatic innovation.

Reporting to engineering leadership, the Senior Software Developer will be a core contributor to one or more product squads or platform teams. This role combines regular hands‑on development with technical mentorship, architecture contribution and ownership of delivery quality. You will design and implement reliable, maintainable systems, drive engineering best practices, and support continuous improvement across the codebase and delivery processes.

• Develop production‑grade software across the stack: design, implement, test and deploy features and services with an emphasis on maintainability and performance.

• Work collaboratively with product managers, designers and engineers to refine requirements, propose pragmatic technical solutions and break work into deliverable increments.

• Drive code quality through thorough code reviews, automated testing, static analysis and adherence to agreed engineering standards.

• Contribute to system architecture and design discussions; identify opportunities to reduce complexity, improve scalability and mitigate technical risk.

• Own components or services end‑to‑end: monitoring, observability, incident response and continuous improvement based on post‑incident reviews.

• Mentor mid and junior engineers by sharing knowledge, providing constructive feedback and supporting their professional development.

• Champion CI/CD, infrastructure as code and repeatable delivery patterns to increase release predictability and reduce manual operational burden.

• Identify and address technical debt; propose and lead refactoring or modernisation efforts where they deliver clear value.

• Contribute to hiring, interviewing and onboarding activities to help grow a diverse and inclusive engineering team.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Proven experience (typically 7+ years) in software engineering with a track record of delivering production systems.

• Strong hands‑on experience with modern web and cloud‑native stacks, microservices or service‑oriented architectures, and RESTful or event‑driven APIs.

• Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used in our stack (for example: Java, Kotlin, C#, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go) and familiarity with testing frameworks.

• Experience with source control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation).

• Practical knowledge of observability and monitoring tooling, logging practices and performance profiling.

• Experience working in agile teams: backlog refinement, sprint planning, incremental delivery and continuous improvement.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills; able to explain technical trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Demonstrable commitment to writing clear engineering artefacts: design notes, runbooks and post‑mortems.

• Experience with cloud providers (AWS, Azure or GCP) and related managed services.

• Background in secure, compliant or regulated environments (public sector experience advantageous).

• Familiarity with event streaming platforms (Kafka, Pub/Sub), serverless patterns or API gateways.

• Experience contributing to developer experience initiatives, internal libraries or platform services.

• Professional certifications in cloud or security technologies are beneficial.

• Competitive salary with performance‑related bonus and incentives tied to delivery and technical outcomes.

• Flexible working arrangements, including hybrid options to support a healthy work–life balance.

• Supportive and inclusive culture with investment in professional development, training and mentorship opportunities.

• Clear career progression into senior technical or engineering leadership roles.

• Work on impactful projects across public sector and commercial clients, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

• Location: Hybrid (DMV Area)

• Employment Type: Full‑time

• Eligibility: Must be U.S. Citizen

Join Vidoori as a Senior Software Developer and help us build reliable, scalable and customer‑focussed software.
