Job Description

CAI is hiring! We are looking for a QA/Disaster Recovery Test Engineer for a full-time, fully remote opportunity. This role owns test execution for a program-monitoring hosting environment, with a focus on validating that disaster-recovery failover meets defined recovery objectives and that data remains intact through migration and failover events. This position works closely with the Technical Development Lead and DevOps/SRE team and will have concentrated involvement during initial build/transition and recurring semi-annual test cycles at steady state.

Only candidates without a need for sponsorship now or in the future will be considered.

 What You'll Do

• Execute test plans validating disaster-recovery failover across two GovCloud regions against defined recovery-point and recovery-time objectives
• Lead recurring DR test cycles, documenting results and tracking remediation items to closure
• Validate data integrity after failover or migration events — row counts, checksums, referential integrity, and dashboard output comparison against the source environment
• Support cutover rehearsals during transition, including rollback-procedure validation
• Partner with the Technical Development Lead and DevOps/SRE team on test environment setup

What You'll Need

Required:

• 3+ years of QA or test engineering experience in cloud environments
• Hands-on AWS GovCloud (US) experience — not commercial AWS alone
• Experience validating disaster-recovery failover against defined RPO/RTO targets
• Must be a U.S. citizen — this role has hands-on-keyboard access to the GovCloud environment

Preferred:

• Experience with data validation and reconciliation at scale (checksums, referential integrity checks)
• Experience in HIPAA-regulated or PHI-scale environments
• AWS certification

Physical Demands

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential job functions consistent with the ADA and other federal, state, and local standards
• Sedentary work that involves sitting or remaining stationary most of the time, with occasional need to move around the office to attend meetings, etc.
• Ability to conduct repetitive tasks on a computer, utilizing a mouse, keyboard, and monitor
