Public Trust Eligibility Required
This is a contingent position, meaning employment is dependent upon the successful award of the associated contract to Aretum and completion of any required background investigation or security clearance verification.
About Aretum Aretum is a mission-driven organization committed to delivering innovative, technology-enabled solutions to our customers across defense, civilian, and homeland security sectors. Our teams work at the intersection of strategy, technology, and transformation, helping agencies solve their most critical challenges. We believe in investing in our people and creating a culture where collaboration, inclusion, and professional growth are at the forefront.
Job Summary Aretum is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Scrum Master/QA Test Engineer to join our team supporting a large-scale federal technology modernization program. As a Scrum Master, you will be responsible for facilitating all scrum ceremonies (i.e.: stand‑ups, backlog refinement, planning, reviews) as well as managing/updating documentation. As a QA Test Engineer, you will be responsible for validating application quality across multiple testing disciplines: functional testing, test automation, integration, accessibility, and performance testing. You will work as an embedded member of an Agile scrum team, executing manual and automated tests within sprint cycles, building and maintaining automation frameworks, evaluating UI code for WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance, integration, and conducting load and performance testing before major releases. This is a hands‑on role that requires both being the scrum master and testing depth with the ability to facilitate and communicate findings clearly to developers, product owners, and program leadership.
Due to the nature of our work as a federal consulting organization, employees may be expected to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and must adhere to applicable safeguarding and compliance requirements.

Manage agile/project artifacts, ensuring all project tracking and documentation are up‑to‑date and accurately reflect project status
Track progress towards project delivery goals and provide leadership with high‑level summaries and updates on project progress
Execute functional testing of web application features, validating stories against acceptance criteria and documenting defects with clear reproduction steps, severity classification, and expected versus actual behavior
Build, maintain, and expand automated regression test suites using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium with Cucumber/Gherkin BDD patterns, integrated into GitLab CI pipelines for continuous feedback
Create and maintain automated API test collections using Postman and Rest Assured to validate microservice endpoints, inter‑service contracts, and integration points with external systems
Create and maintain integration test cases / scenarios
Perform digital accessibility evaluations on coded solutions using automated tools (aXe, pa11y, WAVE, ANDI) and manual techniques (JAWS and NVDA screen reader testing) per WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 standards, following the DHS Trusted Tester conformance test process
Document accessibility findings with specific WCAG success criteria references and actionable remediation guidance that enables developers to resolve issues efficiently
Execute load and performance tests using NeoLoad, JMeter, or equivalent tools to validate response times, throughput, and error rates against defined thresholds before production releases
Maintain test plans and test cases in Confluence linked to Jira stories, with test evidence documented for sprint reviews
Collaborate with developers to define clear acceptance criteria and test criteria during backlog refinement, ensuring stories are testable before development begins
Participate fully in Agile ceremonies within a scrum framework: Sprint Planning, Standup, Sprint Review, Retrospective, and Backlog Refinement
Maintain CI‑integrated test suites at a 95% pass rate or above and resolve flaky tests promptly to keep automation a reliable quality gate
Support production triage when assigned, diagnosing issues and verifying fixes through the standard CI/CD pipeline
Contribute to test strategy improvements, automation framework enhancements, and knowledge sharing across the project team
