Tempus AI is a cutting-edge clinical laboratory coupled with powerful automation capabilities. We continually strive to deliver quality results to our patients as quickly as possible.

As a Senior QA Engineer, you will embed with one or more Agile Scrum teams to validate and continuously improve our in-house developed software. This is a hands-on engineering role: you will design and maintain UI, API, and data-validation test frameworks in Java and Python, wire them into CI/CD so they run unattended against every build. You will gain experience with modern test tooling, cloud-native delivery, and AI-assisted testing.

Knowledge of genetic testing, molecular biology, or other scientific disciplines is a strong plus but is not required. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a positive and creative work environment that offers great benefits and opportunities for growth.

• Participate with your teams in Agile Scrum ceremonies, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and retrospectives
• Represent quality and testability from the start of a story, not at the end of the sprint
• Build and maintain automated tests for web UI, REST APIs and databases, and hold test code to the same standards as production code
• Own the regression suites for your applications: grow coverage, fix or remove flaky tests, and keep them running in CI/CD after every deployment and nightly
• Test for HIPAA and SOX compliance, including how PHI is handled, who can access it and what gets logged, and keep tests traceable to requirements
• Analyze test results and triage failures quickly: separate real product defects from environment, data, and test-harness issues, identify root cause, and drive resolution with clear, reproducible bug reports
• Validate scheduled night-time and off-hours deployments, and confirm post-deployment health in lower and production environments
• Participate in risk assessments, validation processes, and release readiness reviews
• Provide a clear, evidence-based go/no-go quality recommendation
• Maintain traceability from requirements and specifications through test cases to results, especially for regulated components
• Apply AI-assisted tooling responsibly to accelerate test authoring, failure triage, and coverage analysis, while remaining accountable for the correctness of every test that ships
• Mentor junior QA engineers through pairing and code review, and help internal users troubleshoot when needed

• 8+ years in software QA, including 5+ years writing test automation
• Strong programming ability in at least one language used for automation, Java and/or Python preferred
• Hands-on UI automation with Playwright or Selenium
• API testing with REST Assured, Postman or similar, including schema, contract and authentication checks
• Experience running tests in CI/CD (Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, Git Lab CI or similar), with reporting such as Allure
• Solid SQL (e.g., MySQL) and a careful approach to test data when it's regulated
• Experience with performance and load testing using tools such as JMeter, k6, or Gatling
• Working knowledge of HIPAA, HL7 and FHIR
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience
• Preferred ISTQB/ASTQB certification
• Experience with AWS (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3) or Azure, and with Docker
• Experience in a regulated environment such as a CLIA/CAP lab, FDA, SOX
