Senior Automation Testing Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Automation Testing Leader / Senior Automation Testing Engineer to own and build the quality engineering and test automation function for an AI-powered healthcare technology platform.

In this role, quality directly impacts patient access to healthcare. A broken call flow can prevent a patient from reaching their physician, making quality assurance an important part of the overall patient experience.

This is not a traditional manual QA position. The role is focused on test automation, framework design, automation strategy, scalable QA processes, AI-assisted testing techniques, and building a future QA organization.

What You'll Do Automation Strategy & Leadership
  • Own the overall quality engineering vision and automation strategy for an AI-powered voice platform.
  • Design, build, and maintain a scalable automated testing infrastructure from the ground up.
  • Establish testing standards, best practices, and quality metrics across engineering teams.
  • Recruit, mentor, and eventually lead future QA and automation testing team members.
  • Help drive a culture of quality throughout the organization.
Testing Architecture & Framework Development
  • Design and implement automated testing frameworks covering unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, regression testing, and load/performance testing.
  • Build reusable test harnesses and tooling that enable engineers to efficiently create and execute tests.
  • Develop simulation frameworks for real-time voice and conversational AI workflows.
  • Create testing methodologies that can scale with rapid product growth.
AI & Voice Platform Testing
  • Build simulation and regression frameworks for conversational AI scenarios.
  • Develop testing approaches for real-time voice interactions and telephony workflows.
  • Leverage AI-assisted testing techniques to improve coverage and efficiency.
  • Validate agent behaviors, routing logic, integrations, and patient call flows before production deployment.
Platform & Integration Quality
  • Partner with platform, provisioning, and integrations teams to ensure comprehensive coverage across system boundaries.
  • Test APIs, backend services, event-driven systems, and third-party integrations.
  • Own test environments and CI/CD integration for automated execution.
  • Investigate production issues and lead root-cause analysis efforts.
Compliance & Reliability
  • Develop testing approaches that support HIPAA and healthcare compliance requirements.
  • Help ensure platform reliability, scalability, and quality standards are consistently maintained.
  • Drive preventive quality initiatives that reduce production defects and customer-impacting issues.
Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years of experience in software quality engineering with a strong emphasis on automation.
  • Proven track record designing and owning automation frameworks from the ground up.
  • Expertise in automated testing architecture and test harness design.
  • Strong experience building scalable QA processes and automation strategies.
  • Experience leveraging AI-assisted testing methodologies.
  • Proficiency with Python, Type Script, or similar programming languages.
  • Strong scripting, tooling, and automation development skills.
  • Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Hands-on experience with Git Hub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools.
  • Deep understanding of unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, regression testing, and performance testing.
  • Experience testing APIs, backend services, and distributed/event-driven architectures.
  • Strong debugging and analytical skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to elevate quality standards across engineering organizations.
  • Startup mentality with a willingness to build processes, frameworks, and teams from scratch.
  • Ability to operate as both an individual contributor and future people leader.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience testing real-time systems.
  • Experience with telephony platforms, call routing systems, or voice technologies.
  • Experience testing conversational AI or AI-powered applications.
  • Load and performance testing experience in high-throughput environments.
  • HIPAA-regulated healthcare experience.
  • Experience in compliance-heavy environments.
  • Contract testing experience.
  • Service virtualization experience.
  • Previous experience building or leading QA organizations.
Ideal Candidate
  • Can design testing frameworks from the ground up.
  • Can build and execute an automation-first quality strategy.
  • Understand how to leverage AI to improve testing effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Can create scalable quality processes that grow with the business.
  • Can build sophisticated test harnesses and simulation environments.
  • Thrives in a fast-paced startup-style environment.
  • Operates as a strategic quality leader rather than a traditional manual tester.

Benefits include medical, dental, vision, discretionary bonuses, and participation in the company’s 401(k) retirement plan.
