  • Build reusable utilities, components and libraries to improve efficiency and maintainability
  • Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and DevOps engineers to embed testing into delivery
  • Ensure alignment with compliance and security requirements relevant to healthcare data systems

Requirements

  • Strong experience in software testing, with a proven automation background
  • Proven expertise designing and maintaining automation frameworks and test scripts
  • Hands-on automation experience across tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or UFT (and/or similar)
  • Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps pipelines)
  • Strong programming proficiency in Java and Python
  • Solid understanding of SDLC/STLC and Agile ways of working
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex automation failures and drive corrective actions
  • Confidence leading automation standards and best practices across QA teams, If you’re excited by the challenge of building reliable automation that improves quality feedback loops end-to-end, we’d love to hear from you.
