Their technology transforms everyday environments into intelligent health platforms, enabling seamless and continuous health monitoring. We are currently looking for a Senior Software QA Automation Engineer to join their Engineering team and help ensure the quality, reliability and scalability of their next generation of connected health products. Mission: As a Senior Software QA Automation Engineer, your mission will be to own and evolve the testing strategy, automation frameworks and release validation processes across the software development lifecycle. You will play a key role in increasing automated test coverage, identifying risks early and ensuring products are robust, scalable and production-ready. Working closely with Backend, Frontend, Embedded and Product teams, you will help build a strong quality culture across Engineering, ensuring that quality is embedded throughout the development process rather than treated as a final validation step., You will be responsible for: + Defining and owning the software QA strategy across the product lifecycle. + Planning and executing validation processes before production releases. + Defining release acceptance criteria and quality gates. + Performing functional, regression and integration testing. + Identifying quality risks early and helping prevent production issues. + Designing, building and maintaining automated testing frameworks. + Increasing automated test coverage across backend services, frontend applications and APIs. + Developing and evolving unit, integration and end-to-end testing strategies. + Integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines. + Working closely with Engineering teams to improve code quality and testability. + Reviewing software changes and identifying potential quality risks. + Analyzing bugs, reproducing issues and performing root-cause analysis. + Defining and monitoring quality metrics such as test coverage, regression stability, production incidents and release quality. + Analyzing production issues through logs, metrics and monitoring tools. + Promoting testing best practices and a quality-first engineering culture across teams. + Continuously improving testing processes, automation workflows and engineering practices. ## Related Videos - [How I Built QA from Scratch in a Scaling Startup - no fluff real life story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2041-how-i-built-qa-from-scratch-in-a-scaling-startup-no-fluff-real-life-story) - [pytest: Simple, rapid and fun testing with Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/213-pytest-simple-rapid-and-fun-testing-with-python) - [From Doubt to Confidence: How Sentry Uses Verdaccio to Bulletproof SDK Releases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/739-from-doubt-to-confidence-how-sentry-uses-verdaccio-to-bulletproof-sdk-releases) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Automagic Configuration in Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/363-automagic-configuration-in-python) - [Debugging in the Dark](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1658-debugging-in-the-dark) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
