Summary: The Principal QA role is focused on leading the Quality Engineering team in developing and implementing advanced test automation strategies specifically for healthcare applications. The position requires extensive experience in automation, SQL, and AI-driven testing tools, along with a strong understanding of healthcare systems and regulatory compliance. The candidate will also mentor team members and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure quality engineering best practices are upheld. This role is remote, targeting candidates from MST, EST, or CST time zones only.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement a scalable, AI-driven test automation framework for healthcare applications.
  • Develop, execute, and maintain automated test scripts using tools like Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, Appium, and Playwright.
  • Build and maintain robust API testing frameworks using Postman, RestAssured, or Karate.
  • Implement AI-based testing techniques for predictive defect analysis, self-healing scripts, and intelligent test case generation.
  • Perform complex SQL queries to validate data integrity across relational (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases.
  • Validate ETL processes, data migrations, and real-time transactions in healthcare applications.
  • Work closely with Data Engineers to ensure accurate and compliant data processing.
  • Lead performance testing efforts using tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, or Gatling.
  • Ensure healthcare applications meet HIPAA, HITRUST, and other security compliance standards.
  • Implement security testing techniques to detect vulnerabilities in APIs, authentication mechanisms, and sensitive data storage.
  • Utilize AI-powered tools (Testim.io, Applitools, Mabl) to enhance test efficiency.
  • Apply ML algorithms for defect prediction, log anomaly detection, and test case prioritization.
  • Automate test data generation using AI-based synthetic data creation techniques.
  • Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI/CD).
  • Drive shift-left testing by collaborating with developers on early-stage test strategies.
  • Ensure comprehensive test coverage in Microservices and Kubernetes environments.
  • Act as a technical mentor for SDETs, QA engineers, and developers.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including DevOps, Product, and Business Analysts to align testing efforts with business goals.
  • Drive quality engineering best practices across teams, ensuring scalability and maintainability of test frameworks.

Key Skills:

  • 15+ years of experience in software testing, automation, and quality engineering.
  • Strong healthcare industry experience (EHR, EMR, claims processing, clinical applications, or PBM).
  • Hands-on expertise in SQL, stored procedures, and database validation.
  • Experience with automating web, mobile, API, and database tests.
  • Solid knowledge of AI-driven testing approaches and tools.
  • Experience with performance testing and security testing methodologies.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Java, Python, C#, or JavaScript).
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and test automation within DevOps pipelines.
  • Strong understanding of healthcare compliance (HIPAA, HITRUST, FHIR, EDI, HL7, etc.).
  • Experience working in agile and scaled agile (SAFe) environments.
  • Experience in Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) systems.
  • Experience with AI-based test automation frameworks (Testim.io, Applitools, Mabl, Healenium).
