Software Testing Jobs in Washington, DC (NOW HIRING)

Description

At CyberMaxx, we believe it is our duty to defend against those committed to wide-scale societal disruption through cyberattacks. 

We help our customers reduce risk by tightly integrating MDR with offensive security, threat hunting, security research, and digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) to continually adapt to new and evolving threats. Our modern MDR (Managed Detection & Response) approach is tailored to the unique characteristics and risk factors of each customer, enabling us to take full ownership of the response process and, optionally, manage key security controls. By thinking like an adversary and defending like a guardian, we help our customers stay a step ahead of threat actors.  

At CyberMaxx, we value humility, transparency, intellectual curiosity, and a customer first approach.  

As a Software Testing Engineer you will lead quality assurance on a wide spectrum of custom toolsets we develop; ranging from adaptive internal web applications to public facing responsive web and native mobile applications. To facilitate this, you will be responsible for writing test cases in Python, selecting and managing appropriate testing software, reporting and documenting bugs in Jira, and managing the lifecycle of those bugs within a scrum environment.  

As a cybersecurity company, the security of our own toolsets is imperative. In addition to visual and behavioral tests, we expect experience in security testing; such as injection violations, CSRF / XSS attacks, and credential mismanagement. Given the volume of toolsets we work on, automated testing will also be crucial to ensuring QA does not become a bottleneck. We utilize Python Django REST Framework for much of our codebase, and an ability to write API unit tests directly in Django will be a strong plus.  

As an innovative company, we pride ourselves in developing in-house solutions, bespoke to our needs. This opens the door to greater flexibility and creativity, but also to greater responsibility and vulnerability. Our ideal candidate is someone who takes genuine pride in their work and appreciates being able to shape ideas to their vision. 

What You Will Do:

• Perform visual, behavioral, and security QA analysis on web desktop, mobile, and native mobile applications  
• Utilize a mixture of custom test cases and readily available testing toolsets to facilitate all layers of testing from Unit to User Acceptance  
• Document findings as bug reports in Jira for development team to resolve

• Maintain current knowledge of relevant technology as assigned  
• Other activities as assigned 

What We Are Looking For:

• 3+ years professional experience performing QA duties, with at least 2 years specifically working with software development  
• Completion of a Bachelor's or higher post-graduate degree, and 3+ years industry experience, or equivalent additional industry experience.   
• Proficiency with RESTful APIs and REST API testing
• Experience with automated testing tools and approaches.
