QA Automation Engineer/ SAP Analytics Cloud/ Remote
Our client is a secure cloud solutions provider supporting U.S. government and national security missions. They are seeking a QA Automation Engineer for a contract engagement focused on quality engineering across a multi-platform analytics and data cloud environment. This is a fully contract role with a strong emphasis on modern automated testing across UI, API, and backend layers. Here is what makes this opportunity stand out: you are walking into a team that has openly acknowledged its automation coverage sits around 20–30%, which means you will have a real, measurable impact from day one. This is not a role where you maintain what already exists. You will be the engineer who builds it. If you want ownership, visibility, and the ability to leave a lasting mark on how a high-security engineering organization ships software, this is the right move. The team is collaborative, technically sharp, and integrating into active CI/CD pipelines, so your work will ship fast and matter immediately.
