About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in Healthcare Technology, is looking for a skilled Software Automation Engineer to join their team for a 7 months engagement. This project involves developing and executing automated testing strategies to ensure the quality and effective performance of software applications prior to implementation. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Develop and execute formal plans, procedures, and scenarios for manual and automated testing to ensure the quality of software applications.
• Plan tests, write test cases/scripts, and perform smoke, application, functional, and regression testing.
• Document and track test results, defects, and other quality metrics, participating in problem resolution.
• Review and assess test coverage to ensure a thorough quality review prior to implementation.
• Develop and implement quality standards and best practices, contributing ideas toward continuous improvement, and acting as an internal quality consultant.

• 4+ years of experience in a similar role.
• Deep expertise in automation using JavaScript and Type Script (developer-level understanding) and hands-on experience with modern testing frameworks like Cypress and Playwright. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Extensive experience in SOAP & REST API testing using HTTP clients and standalone tools.
• Proficiency in SQL (Select, insert, update & delete) for database testing.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
• Nice to Have:
  Experience with DICOM technology, AWS services (Lambdas, notifications, parameter store), CI/CD tools like Jenkins or Github Actions, and command line proficiency.

• W2 only (No C2C or 1099 contractors)
