Opportunity Overview:
We're looking for a Quality Engineer with healthcare experience to own the quality of our FHIR-based APIs and clinical workflows from end to end. You'll plan and execute test strategies that validate how patient data moves through our platform — ensuring every resource, every integration, and every handoff meets the standards that healthcare demands.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering and client experience, working closely with Solution Architects, Implementation, Engineering, and Product to catch issues before they reach the people who rely on our technology to get patients the care they need. If you're someone who thinks in edge cases, cares deeply about data integrity, and wants to shape QA practices on a growing team — this is the role.
This is a remote-first role that may require travel to Boston, MA for new hire onboarding and occasional in-person team meetings and company events.
What you’ll do:
- Plan, author, and execute test plans for FHIR-based APIs — validating schema conformance, resource structure (Patient, Observation, Encounter), and alignment with implementation guides.
- Perform manual and automated testing on RESTful healthcare web services, identifying, documenting, and tracking defects through resolution.
- Develop and maintain QA protocols and procedures that keep pace with evolving healthcare standards and compliance requirements.
- Analyze test results and provide clear, detailed reporting to stakeholders across engineering, product, and implementation teams.
- Participate in test case reviews and provide feedback to developers to improve code quality and catch issues earlier in the development cycle.
- Continuously improve testing processes and methodologies to increase coverage, reduce cycle time, and strengthen reliability.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Solution Architects, Engineering, Implementation, and Product to ensure quality is built in — not just tested after the fact.
What you’ll need:
- 2+ years of experience in quality engineering within healthcare technology
- Client-facing experience strongly preferred — you should be comfortable communicating quality findings, test results, and status updates to external stakeholders, not just internal teams
- Hands-on experience testing APIs built on interoperability standards used to exchange clinical data — you should know how to validate that resources like patient records, encounters, and observations are structured correctly and conform to the implementation guides the industry runs on. Familiarity with legacy messaging formats is a plus.
- Proficiency with tools used to query, mock, and inspect REST endpoints — we care more about your testing methodology than which specific tool you use
- Solid understanding of the regulatory and compliance landscape in healthcare — you've worked in environments where getting the data wrong isn't just a bug, it's a risk
- Sharp analytical skills and strong attention to detail — you catch what others miss
- Clear communicator who can translate technical findings for non-technical audiences and work effectively across teams
- QA certification, experience working with offshore teams, or a relevant degree are all a plus
