Overview
QA Engineer Jobs in Linthicum Heights, MD at CyberMaxx
Title: QA Engineer
Company: CyberMaxx
Location: Linthicum Heights, MD
Description
We seek to hire a QA Engineer to lead quality assurance on a wide spectrum of custom toolsets we develop in the CyberSecurity space; 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.
