Salary
💰 $120,000 - $140,000 per year
About the role
- Develop, maintain, and scale end-to-end automation frameworks for UI, API, and backend services independently with minimal supervision.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable delivery.
- Define and execute comprehensive testing strategies across API, UI, integration, regression, performance, and security testing.
- Collaborate with engineers to improve code testability, reliability, and overall product quality.
- Track and analyze quality metrics, automation coverage, defect trends, and regression risks; recommend improvements.
- Participate in code reviews and provide technical guidance from a quality perspective.
- Mentor and coach junior QA/SDET engineers, promoting best practices in automation and quality engineering.
- Drive quality initiatives across teams, influencing design and architecture decisions to enhance testability.
- Leverage AI/ML tools for intelligent test generation, prioritization, defect prediction, and test data management.
- Advocate for quality in product planning, release readiness, and post-release analysis.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in software quality engineering, with deep hands-on expertise in test automation frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Selenium) and testing libraries.
- Strong coding skills in Python or JavaScript. You don't just write scripts; you write clean, modular, and maintainable code.
- You understand the "why" behind patterns like Page Object Model and can implement them independently to create scalable testing suites.
- Solid understanding of the SDLC, Agile practices, and CI/CD pipelines. You have experience working with cloud environments (GCP or Azure), relational databases (SQL), and developer tools like GitHub Actions.
- You’ve experimented with AI coding tools and understand their limitations. You know that while AI can generate a script in seconds, a human engineer is required to ensure it is reliable, secure, and optimized for intelligent test coverage and defect prediction.
- You respect the "guardrails" for eg: data security and environment separation are second nature to you. You thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering with architects and stakeholders to solve complex problems.
- You have a passion for mentoring junior team members and fostering a culture of quality across the engineering organization.
- Experience working in a clinical trial industry or healthcare is a huge plus.
Benefits
- Our employees love working for us because they get to develop, market, and sell a product that advances human health, and they enjoy many perks.
