Quality Assurance Engineer

Overview

The Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer ensures the quality, reliability, and performance of software applications that support clinical research and participant pre-screening operations. The role develops, executes, and maintains manual and automated testing strategies, with a strong emphasis on end-to-end test automation using Playwright.

What you'll do

• Design, build, and maintain automated end-to-end test suites using Playwright across web and API surfaces.
• Perform exploratory and structured manual testing on complex user flows, edge cases, and regression scenarios.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable feedback on every pull request.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and designers during development to shift quality left, writing tests alongside features, not after.
• Triage, reproduce, and document bugs with clear steps and context that accelerate resolution.
• Contribute to and improve QA processes, standards, and tooling across the engineering organization.
• Participate in test planning, sprint ceremonies, and release readiness reviews.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience in software QA, with meaningful time spent in test automation.
• Strong proficiency with Playwright (or a comparable framework like Cypress or Puppeteer) and the ability to write maintainable, reliable tests.
• Solid manual testing instincts: knowing when to automate and when hands-on exploration surfaces more value.
• Experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar).
• Familiarity with testing APIs alongside UI flows, including REST and GraphQL endpoints.
• Strong communication skills: ability to write a clear bug report, explain a test strategy, and advocate for quality with engineers and PMs alike.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and judgment matters.
