**What you'll do:**
* Analyze front\-end and back\-end systems for quality and reliability
* Design and deploy automated testing at scale
* Build and execute automated test cases to ensure robust, reliable service pipelines
* Perform integration testing across systems and interfaces (APIs, databases, flat files)
* Partner with engineering teams on requirements and technical design reviews to bake automation into new features from the start
* Evaluate and evolve existing data test automation frameworks
* Recommend and implement modern automation tools and techniques
* Maintain and improve automated tests within CI/CD pipelines
* Champion quality ownership across the team
* Enable fast, direct feedback loops on every code submission
**What we're looking for:**
* BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
* 4\+ years as an SDET or in software development, using C\#, Python, or Go
* Strong grasp of Object\-Oriented Programming
* Comfortable working across Windows and Linux
* Experience with a major cloud platform (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
* Hands\-on experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks
* Performance testing experience (JMeter, Locust, Gatling, or K6\)
* Experience spotting quality issues in data collection, storage, and processing
* Solid experience with relational databases (SQL Server, MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, MariaDB)
* Experience with streaming platforms (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub)
* Strong Git workflow experience
* CI/CD platform experience (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab, Codefresh, Rundeck)
* Root Cause Analysis and SLA/incident management experience
* Experience debugging and parsing data pipelines
* Solid QA methodology foundation: functional, performance, regression, black\-box, white\-box testing
* A genuine passion for learning and clearly explaining technical concepts
**Nice to have:**
* Healthcare domain knowledge — especially EDI, NCPDP, and transaction processing in pharmacy/PBM contexts
* Experience in HIPAA\-, PCI\-, or other high\-security coding environments
* Open source contribution history
