We apply modern capabilities, including AI/ML, cloud, cybersecurity, and IT modernization to solve complex challenges, enable faster and more secure operations, and drive measurable mission outcomes.\nWe are redefining how federal technology gets built and delivered by operating with a product mindset, prioritizing speed, ownership, and execution over bureaucracy.\nDescription\nTitle: QA Tester (Systems Modernization)\nLocation: Remote\nTerms: Full-time\nSalary: $90-100k DoE\nClearance: Qualified candidates must be US citizens AND have an active DHS Public Trust clearance\nTravel: 0-5%\nProject Description\nThis position supports Revolutional’s customer, DHS ICE (Enforcement and Removal Operations - ERO), where critical mission systems are undergoing modernization.\nThe current environment consists of large, complex legacy systems that manage operational workflows (e.g., processing, tracking, and managing encounters). These systems have evolved over time and often include layers of business rules, manual processes, and tightly coupled functionality.\nThe core challenge is not simply rebuilding these systems; it is:\nUnderstanding how they actually work in practice\nIdentifying which functionality is mission-critical\nEliminating unnecessary complexity\nTranslating that functionality into a modern platform-based architecture\nAs part of this effort, DHS is adopting Palantir as a target platform for modernization. Revolutional plays a key role in bridging legacy systems and this new platform, ensuring accurate translation of functionality while improving system design.\nPosition Description\nAs a QA Tester at Revolutional, you will own quality assurance across the full testing lifecycle while contributing to one of the most critical aspects of modernization: ensuring that complex, legacy system functionality is accurately and reliably translated into clean, scalable software.\nYou will work across functional, integration, and specialized testing domains, but your role goes beyond test execution. You will be expected to:\nAnalyze ambiguous legacy systems to identify testable requirements\nDesign rigorous test strategies that reflect real operational workflows\nIdentify gaps between documented behavior and actual system performance\nHelp define quality standards for modernized systems moving forward\nYou will operate in an environment where:\nDocumentation is incomplete\nRequirements are not always well-defined\nLegacy behavior may not reflect optimal or intended design\nSuccess in this role requires analytical rigor, strong communication, and the ability to drive quality outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.\nResponsibilities: \nDesign, implement, and optimize comprehensive test scripts and test plans that align with system modernization objectives\nIdentify, document, and track defects through resolution, ensuring clear and actionable reporting\nCoordinate with the development team and stakeholders to ensure requirements are comprehensively understood and tested\nActively participate in all relevant meetings (sprint ceremonies, planning sessions, stakeholder reviews) to ensure testing activities and effort are clearly communicated\nSeek to continuously improve testing processes to align with evolving requirements and rapid delivery cadences\nSupport the full SDLC from a quality assurance perspective: requirements analysis, test planning, execution, defect management, and sign-off\nCollaborate with engineers to troubleshoot defects across application, integration, and data layers\nComplete Palantir training and certification (provided by Revolutional) and apply quality assurance practices within the platform\nTechnical Environment\nTesting Tools:\nJIRA, Xray, and other modern QA tooling\nApplication Stack Under Test:\nJava/Spring Boot backend services, React-based front-end components, RESTful APIs, relational databases, and legacy integration layers\nPractices:\nAgile delivery, CI/CD pipelines, sprint-based testing, defect lifecycle management\nEnvironment Note:\nThis is a hybrid environment combining legacy systems and modern platform-based development. Testing must account for both existing legacy behavior and new modernized functionality, with a focus on validating accurate translation - not simply confirming that software runs.\nWhat You Bring (Requirements)\nBaseline Requirements\nUS citizenship is required with an active DHS Public Trust clearance; DHS ICE public trust is preferred.\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)\n5+ years of hands-on software testing experience\nExperience working in complex or enterprise system environments\nTechnical Capabilities\nStrong knowledge of software QA methodologies, tools, and best practices\nProficiency with JIRA for defect tracking and project management; Xray experience strongly preferred\nAbility to design, write, and maintain detailed test plans and test scripts\nExperience testing RESTful APIs, backend services, and data-driven applications\nExperience in transforming manual testing into automated testing, using tools like Selenium or Playwright\nFamiliarity with Agile or iterative delivery environments and sprint-based testing workflows\nCore Strengths\nStrong analytical skills with the ability to decompose complex workflows into testable requirements\nStrong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate defects and testing status to both technical and non-technical stakeholders\nStrong organizational skills and the capacity to operate effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment\nHigh attention to detail and commitment to thoroughness in test coverage\nOwnership mindset and accountability for quality outcomes\nNice to Have (Differentiators)\nSkills in specialized testing such as security testing, Section 508 compliance testing, and load/performance testing\nExperience with legacy system modernization or transformation efforts\nExperience supporting federal or mission-driven environments\nExposure to enterprise data platforms or large-scale system integrations\nExperience deriving test requirements from real-world system usage rather than formal documentation\n#LI #DICE #CJ\n___________________________________________________________________________________________________________\nHere at Revolutional we are pleased to have been repeatedly recognized for our outstanding work culture, the innovative work we do, and the employees on our team who make a difference each day.
