Job Description

We are seeking a QA & Test Automation Engineer to redefine how we validate our complex, multi-layered platforms. This isn't a traditional QA role; we need an engineer who can write high-quality code, navigate a diverse technical stack (React, Java, Kotlin), and manage automated test execution within a Kubernetes environment. You will ensure that our digital transformation solutions for the healthcare industry are resilient, performant, and bug-free.

Key Responsibilities

• Framework Development: Maintain and extend our E2E test harness built on JUnit and Kotlin, using Playwright as the core web driver.
• Bridge the Automation Gap: Conduct manual functional and exploratory testing for new features; define manual test cases for automation.
• Test Data Management: Design strategies for generating, maintaining, and resetting test data, ensuring quality and privacy compliance.
• Full-Stack Testing Strategy: Automate tests for React/TypeScript front-ends and Spring Boot back-ends.
• Environment Orchestration: Manage and optimize test execution within Kubernetes (AKS) clusters for stability and reproducibility.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions pipelines with the DevOps team.
• Bug Triage & Root Cause Analysis: Collaborate with BAs and developers to investigate failures, analyzing logs and metrics.
• Load & Performance Testing: Design and execute load tests to identify system bottlenecks and ensure high-concurrency handling.
• Mentorship & Standards: Establish automated testing best practices, perform code reviews, and uplift the QA team’s quality mindset.

Key Requirements

• Deep expertise with Playwright for web automation and JUnit test suite development.
• Experience managing complex test data lifecycles, including data masking, synthetic data, and automated database seeding/cleanup (SQL).
• Proven experience in manual testing, including Regression Testing, Sanity Testing, and UAT.
• Coding proficiency in Kotlin, with ability to read Java (Spring Boot) and TypeScript (React).
• Experience testing RESTful APIs, handling authentication (OAuth2/JWT) and validating complex JSON payloads.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Load/performance testing (k6, Gatling, JMeter)
• Kubernetes (AKS) experience
• Familiarity with Azure/AWS cloud environments
• Knowledge of healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR)
• AI/LLM tooling experience

Education:

• Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field preferred, or equivalent SDET experience

Non-Negotiable Skills

• Developer mindset: Treat test code with the same rigor as production code
• Quality advocacy: Perform manual validation proactively
• E2E ownership: Take responsibility for the full testing lifecycle
• Technical resilience: Investigate issues beyond reporting failed tests

Perks & Benefits

• Comprehensive health and life insurance (coverage for one dependent)
• Flexible leave credits for vacation, emergency, or sick leave
• Quarterly WFH perks boxes with groceries and snacks
• Mid-Year Parties with giveaways and cash prizes
• Career advancement opportunities
• Company-provided PC/Laptop and fiber internet
