We are seeking a highly technical and automation-driven QA Automation
Engineer to design, build, and scale automated testing frameworks that
ensure the reliability, performance, security, and compliance of our
healthcare SaaS platform. This role is critical in enabling continuous
delivery and maintaining high product quality in a regulated
environment.
As a QA Automation Engineer, you will architect and maintain robust
automated test suites across UI, API, and data layers, integrate
automated validation into CI/CD pipelines, and champion quality
engineering best practices. You will collaborate closely with software
engineers, DevOps, product managers, and compliance teams to ensure
scalable, secure, and compliant releases aligned with healthcare
standards such as HIPAA.
The ideal candidate combines strong programming skills, automation
framework expertise, data validation capabilities, and a deep
understanding of healthcare workflows and regulatory environments.
Key Responsibilities
1. Automation Architecture & Development
Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for web,
API, and backend testing.
Build and optimize automated test suites using tools such as Selenium,
Cypress, Playwright, or similar frameworks.
Develop API automation using REST/Soap-based tools and frameworks.
Implement data validation automation using SQL and backend validation
scripts.
Ensure automation coverage across functional, regression, integration,
and performance testing layers.
Continuously improve test reliability, execution speed, and
maintainability.
2. CI/CD & DevOps Integration
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions,
Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
Enable automated validation gates to support continuous integration and
continuous deployment.
Collaborate with DevOps teams to optimize test execution in cloud-based
environments (AWS, Azure).
Implement parallelization and containerized test execution strategies.
Maintain version control for test automation code using Git.
3. Technical Proficiency
Strong programming skills in one or more languages (e.g., Java,
JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, or C#).
Advanced SQL expertise for validating complex healthcare datasets.
Deep understanding of REST APIs, JSON/XML payloads, authentication
mechanisms (OAuth, JWT).
Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and SaaS deployment models.
Experience validating healthcare data integrity, interoperability
workflows, and compliance standards (HIPAA, HITRUST).
4. SDLC & Agile Quality Engineering
Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, backlog
grooming, retrospectives).
Collaborate with developers to shift-left testing practices and embed
automation early in the development lifecycle.
Translate user stories and acceptance criteria into automated test
scenarios.
Support regulatory validation checkpoints within the SDLC.
Contribute to traceability matrices and automated audit readiness
documentation.
5. Analytical & Problem-Solving
Decompose complex healthcare workflows (e.g., patient intake, billing,
claims processing) into automated validation strategies.
Apply risk-based testing to prioritize automation coverage for critical
and high-impact areas.
Analyze defect trends and test metrics to drive quality improvements.
Debug automation failures and identify root causes across application
layers.
6. Collaboration & Communication
Provide clear defect reporting with logs, automation evidence, and
impact analysis.
Partner cross-functionally with engineering, product, security, and
compliance teams.
Contribute to documentation of automation frameworks, standards, and
best practices.
Mentor team members on automation strategy and quality engineering
principles.
Required Qualifications
Education & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or
related field.

Technical Requirements
Strong experience building and maintaining automation frameworks.
Experience with UI automation tools (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright,
etc.).
Experience with microservice automation tools and frameworks.
Experience with AI-driven tools to design and generate high-quality test
cases, ensuring strong functional, regression, and edge-case coverage.
Experience with AI-assisted automation frameworks to accelerate test
script creation, execution, and maintenance, improving efficiency and
reducing manual effort.
Proficiency with SQL for backend and data validation.
Experience integrating tests into CI/CD environments (GitHub Actions,
Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
Hands-on experience with Git and version-controlled repositories.
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure).
Preferred Knowledge, Skills & Certifications
Experience with performance or load testing tools.
Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and test orchestration.
Familiarity with healthcare data standards and regulatory frameworks.
Experience with test management tools (Jira, Zephyr, TestRail).
