Hypergiant is looking to implement and maintain automated tools, environments, and workflows to build a robust, scalable software quality assurance system across its applications, aiming to raise quality, accelerate releases, and harden reliability.
Requirements
- Proven hands-on implementation of QA and test automation solutions: candidate should be able to provide relevant before / after metrics.
- Significant hands-on experience with implementing, configuring, and maintaining modern frontend / UI, backend, and full-stack testing tools: e.g., Playwright/Cypress, Jest/Vitest, visual regression, contract testing, performance testing.
- Significant experience with CI/CD environment configuration, test planning for an agile / iterative software development lifecycle, artifact management, documentation, monorepo / multi-repo strategies.
- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript (frontend focus) and proficiency with at least one scripting language (e.g., Python) for tooling.
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred), Docker, Kubernetes, basic security testing concepts.
- Familiarity with applying agentic AI in test automation (e.g., test generation, metrics capture, user alerting, self-healing, intelligent triage).
- Ability to operate in regulated / mission contexts (e.g., DOD network security compliance)
Responsibilities
- Own the QA vision: Collectively define and refine the reliability & QA automation strategy and roadmap with all stakeholders; translate product risks into a prioritized plan with measurable outcomes.
- Implement the QA solution: work with engineering leadership to select tools, design the test pyramid, and stand-up automation frameworks for orchestration of complex software components, associated datasets, and APIs.
- Integrate into CI/CD: working with cloud / DevOps staff, implement gated pipelines, test artifact retention, release candidate process / versioning, and release criteria (coverage, pass rate, performance thresholds, process exceptions).
- Non-functional quality: introduce automated performance / load / fault tolerance, accessibility, visual regression, and security / compliance checks into pipelines.
- Release safety: Working with the software principals across product development and delivery, implement automation to support enhanced software release and deployment (e.g., feature flags, automated smoke checks, and software version rollback solutions).
- Metrics & reporting: Work with engineering leadership to define and publish software quality metrics and performance indicators (e.g., DORA)
- AI augmentation: evaluate and introduce agentic AI-driven test automation to accelerate test creation, self-healing, failure analysis, and predictive quality insights.
Other
- NOTE: This position requires active U.S. national security clearance and the ability to obtain one.
- Additionally, travel may be required to customer and subcontractor sites as well as other office locations.
- Excellent communicator who can gain consensus on a vision across all stakeholders while shipping artifacts, briefing executives on risk while unblocking engineers with tools and automation.
- Current / prior DOD security clearance.
- In order to qualify for this position, the candidate must be a US Citizen and either currently possess this National Security eligibility or be able to complete the investigation application process with a favorable determination and maintain that eligibility throughout their employment.
