Tetrad Digital Integrity (TDI) is a leading-edge cybersecurity firm with a mission to safeguard and protect our customers from increasing threats and vulnerabilities in this digital age. This position will support the Federal government on the Civilian side.
We are seeking a software engineer/developer to perform as one of the primary software test engineers in development and integration. These activities are across the development lifecycle from concept development, design, and implementation. To accomplish these activities candidates will need to apply diverse skills in software engineering, system engineering & administration, integration, test, and system security.

Since we are a small team with a small, dedicated testing staff, candidates should also be able to assist in the execution of functional, performance, and security tests and support debug of system issues. While a separate part of the team does oversee maintenance activities, candidates may be called upon to review existing programs and assist in making refinements to aid in reducing operating time and/or improving current development methods.
