Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

💻 Web-based patient care, administration, and reporting tools
☁️ A highly scalable AWS cloud environment

🗄️ Relational databases and complex data workflows
🔐 Secure, HIPAA-compliant systems supporting communication across organizations

That means testing often requires looking beyond a single screen or expected workflow. A change in one area may affect workflows elsewhere, and understanding those relationships is an important part of becoming effective in this role.

Your Primary Job Focus and Day-to-Day Activities Will Include:

Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks and test suites that perform reliably over time. Improve test coverage, execution performance, and maintainability while minimizing flaky tests.

🔄 Strengthen testing tools and environments
Create, maintain, and troubleshoot test environments and supporting tools. Integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows to help identify issues earlier and support dependable releases.

🔍 Plan and execute effective testing across the Pulsara platform
Develop practical test strategies, plans, and reusable test cases based on requirements, technical complexity, risk, and customer workflows. Perform manual and automated testing across mobile and web applications, internal and public APIs, database migrations, and tools running in AWS to identify defects, risks, and unexpected behavior.

🤝 Lead through technical expertise and mentorship
Share your experience designing and maintaining reliable automation to mentor other Test Engineering team members, strengthen their technical capabilities, and help shape the team's approach to testing and automation.

Explore edge cases, complex system interactions, and real-world conditions. Apply technical expertise and sound judgment to determine where automation adds value and where hands-on testing is essential.

🐞 Investigate and communicate problems clearly
Troubleshoot complex defects and test failures, document reproducible findings, collaborate on solutions, and verify fixes.

Understand how healthcare professionals use Pulsara and recognize where technical issues, unexpected behavior, or workflow friction could affect their ability to coordinate care.

Identify opportunities to improve testing practices, automation, and tools. Apply new technologies, including AI-assisted tools, where they meaningfully improve quality and efficiency.
