Job description

We're looking for a Senior Test Engineering Manager to define, document, and deliver test strategy while transforming how quality is engineered across mission-critical software. Healthcare experience isn't important - engineering maturity and automation leadership are.

You'll set direction, write clear test strategies, and lead teams in building scalable automation that reduces risk and increases delivery confidence.

Deliverables

  • Define, develop, and write test strategies aligned to business risk and system architecture
  • Own the end-to-end quality engineering approach, from unit testing through E2E and production validation
  • Introduce and scale modern test automation frameworks across teams
  • Embed automated testing into CI/CD pipelines so quality is continuous and enforced
  • Upskill and mentor test engineers and software engineers in automation, test design, and quality engineering
  • Establish quality standards, best practices, and governance without slowing teams down
  • Reduce manual testing, flaky automation, and release risk
  • Partner with engineering leadership to raise overall engineering maturity
  • Influence system and API design to improve testability, resilience, and maintainability

Requirements

  • A software engineer at heart with senior test engineering leadership experience
  • Proven track record of creating and evolving test strategies, not just executing them
  • Experience building and scaling test automation in complex, distributed systems
  • Strong people leadership experience, including coaching and developing engineers
  • Background in sell-side or mission-critical platforms (fintech, SaaS, infrastructure, high-availability systems)
  • Deep understanding of automation strategy, CI/CD, and modern delivery practices

*Rates depend on experience and client requirements Skills
