Required: pursuing or recently completed a relevant degree; working Java/OOP knowledge (coursework and projects count); basic testing concepts (JUnit, defect lifecycle); basic SQL; exposure to Maven; basic scripting (Bash, PowerShell, or Python); Agile comfort. Nice to have: CI/CD exposure, Docker, Cucumber/Selenium specifics, JMeter, OWASP basics, interest in AI-assisted testing.
Logistics: must be local to Arizona with your city on your resume; own personal laptop required (agency workstation assigned for remote access); in-person interview availability within a week; W2 only; must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship now or in the future (no visa sponsorship of any kind, including future). HireRight background check and drug screening required.
Apply with your resume showing your current Arizona city.
