Full-time Clearance:
Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust is required Travel: 0-5% Project Description This position supports Revolutional's customer, DHS ICE (Enforcement and Removal Operations - ERO), where critical mission systems are undergoing modernization. The 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.

The core challenge is not simply rebuilding these systems; it is:
* Understanding how they actually work in practice
* Identifying which functionality is mission-critical
* Eliminating unnecessary complexity
* Translating that functionality into a modern platform-based architecture As 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. Position Description As 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.

You will work across functional, integration, and specialized testing domains, but your role goes beyond test execution. You will be expected to:
* Analyze ambiguous legacy systems to identify testable requirements
* Design rigorous test strategies that reflect real operational workflows
* Identify gaps between documented behavior and actual system performance
* Help define quality standards for modernized systems moving forward You will operate in an environment where:
* Documentation is incomplete
* Requirements are not always well-defined
* Legacy behavior may not reflect optimal or intended design Success in this role requires analytical rigor, strong communication, and the ability to drive quality outcomes in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Responsibilities:
* Design, implement, and optimize comprehensive test scripts and test plans that align with system modernization objectives
* Identify, document, and track defects through resolution, ensuring clear and actionable reporting
* Coordinate with the development team and stakeholders to ensure requirements are comprehensively understood and tested
* Actively participate in all relevant meetings (sprint ceremonies, planning sessions, stakeholder reviews) to ensure testing activities and effort are clearly communicated
* Seek to continuously improve testing processes to align with evolving requirements and rapid delivery cadences
* Support the full SDLC from a quality assurance perspective: requirements analysis, test planning, execution, defect management, and sign-off
* Collaborate with engineers to troubleshoot defects across application, integration, and data layers
* Complete Palantir training and certification (provided by Revolutional) and apply quality assurance practices within the platform Technical Environment Testing Tools: JIRA, Xray, and other modern QA tooling Application Stack Under Test:
Java/Spring Boot backend services, React-based front-end components, RESTful APIs, relational databases, and legacy integration layers Practices:
Agile delivery, CI/CD pipelines, sprint-based testing, defect lifecycle management Environment

Note:

This 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. What You Bring (Requirements) Baseline Requirements
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)
* 5+ years of hands-on software testing experience
* Experience working in complex or enterprise system environments
* Ability to obtain and maintain required clearance Technical Capabilities
* Strong knowledge of software QA methodologies, tools, and best practices
* Proficiency with JIRA for defect tracking and project management;
Xray experience strongly preferred
* Ability to design, write, and maintain detailed test plans…
