We are seeking a Senior Cloud Test Analyst to support a large-scale AWS cloud migration initiative. This role will focus on validating cloud-native, containerized, and legacy applications as they are migrated into AWS environments. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in cloud-hosted application testing, Agile delivery, test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and compliance-focused QA practices. This is a hands-on role that will partner closely with developers, business analysts, and project stakeholders to ensure applications meet quality, performance, security, and accessibility standards prior to deployment.

• Design, develop, and execute test strategies, test plans, test cases, and automated test scripts for applications migrating to AWS.
• Lead functional, regression, integration, system, failover, and performance testing across cloud environments.
• Validate cloud migration efforts, including lift-and-shift and re-platforming initiatives.
• Identify, track, and manage defects using Test Rail, JIRA, Confluence, or ALM.
• Develop and maintain automated testing frameworks and test suites.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, Git Hub, and AWS Code Pipeline.
• Perform REST and SOAP API testing, SQL validation, and end-to-end application testing.
• Support security, compliance, and accessibility testing efforts.
• Maintain testing documentation, test metrics, execution results, and defect reporting.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and collaborate closely with development and business teams.
• Analyze testing results and support continuous process improvement initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• 9+ years of IT experience, including experience developing test plans and/or test matrices.
• Experience testing cloud-hosted applications and supporting cloud migration initiatives.
• Strong Agile testing and CI/CD experience.
• Experience with Test Rail, JIRA, Confluence, or ALM.
• Hands-on experience with Selenium Grid, JUnit, TestNG, Apache JMeter, SoapUI, and/or Postman.
• Strong understanding of REST/SOAP API testing, SQL, and test automation frameworks.
• Experience with test data strategy, version control, defect triage, and test metrics reporting.
• Experience implementing automated test suites within CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on experience testing applications utilizing AWS services including EC2, IAM, S3, RDS/Aurora, Lambda, API Gateway, Cloud Watch, Cloud Trail, and Code Build.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document and resolve complex technical issues.

• Healthcare, Medicare, or regulated-industry experience.
• Experience with HIPAA, FedRAMP, and NIST security and compliance standards.
• Accessibility testing experience including Section 508 and WCAG compliance.
• Experience using Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, WAVE, or similar security testing tools.
• Knowledge of Java, Web Sphere, Oracle, DB2, IMS, VSAM, or other enterprise technologies.
• Experience with white-box testing, static testing, integration testing, or JAWS accessibility testing.

The strongest candidates will bring a blend of AWS cloud testing, cloud migration experience, test automation, API testing, CI/CD pipeline integration, and compliance-focused QA expertise. This is not a pure performance/load testing role. Candidates should be comfortable leading testing efforts across complex cloud environments while ensuring high-quality application delivery.
