QA TEST SPECIALIST -100% REMOTE Remote / Telecommute Jobs

QA Tester (IAM, API, Functional Testing) ForgeRock exp preferred Location: REMOTE Pay Rate: Open to W2 options Position Type: Multiyear Contract Requirements • Experienced Quality Assurance (QA) Tester with a strong background in Identity & Access Management (IAM) environments to join our team • The ideal candidate will have deep experience in functional testing and API testing, familiarity (or willingness to learn) IAM components and workflows, and some automation experience — ideally using Azure DevOps (ADO), with experience on IAM platforms like ForgeRock a plus (but not required) • You will play a critical role in ensuring that IAM systems — responsible for authentication, authorization, user provisioning, and access control — are robust, secure, and functionally correct • Design & execute test plans — Define comprehensive test strategies, test cases, and test scenarios covering functional requirements, IAM workflows, APIs/endpoints, and integration points. This includes unit, integration, end-to-end, regression, and user-acceptance testing (UAT) cycles. • IAM component testing — Validate IAM-specific functionality such as authentication (SSO, single sign-on; MFA, multi-factor authentication), authorization, role-based access control (RBAC), user provisioning/de-provisioning, joiner/mover/leaver processes, identity federation (SAML, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM), access reviews, and audit logging. • API testing and validation — Test backend services, REST or SOAP APIs, verify correct behavior of identity-management APIs, token handling, session management, and integration with identity providers or other systems. • Automation of test cases — Build, maintain, and execute automated test suites (for APIs or UI/web if applicable), especially around IAM workflows, access controls, login/auth, provisioning, and other critical IAM paths. Ideally integrate automated tests into a CI/CD pipeline using ADO or similar DevOps tooling. • Defect tracking and reporting — Log, track, and manage defects (functional or security-related), work with developers/architects to reproduce issues, and verify fixes. Provide detailed documentation and test result reports to stakeholders. • Collaboration & cross-team coordination — Work closely with IAM architects, security team, developers, DevOps, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, identity flows, and ensure quality across identity, access, and security components. • Security- & compliance-aware testing — Given the sensitive nature of identity management, include negative/edge-case testing (e.g. invalid credentials/access attempts), verify role-based restrictions, test for potential privilege escalation, injection/authorization vulnerabilities, and ensure system behavior is secure and compliant. • Maintain test environments & test identities — Manage IAM test environments, provisioning/de-provisioning of test users, maintain identity data for testing, ensure test environments mimic production as closely as possible (roles, permissions, auth flows, federation).
