At Veracyte, we offer exciting career opportunities for those interested in joining a pioneering team that is committed to transforming cancer care for patients across the globe. Working at Veracyte enables our employees to not only make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients, but to also learn and grow within a purpose driven environment.

  • Recruit, develop, and retain exceptional engineering talent while fostering career growth and technical leadership.

Quality Engineering Platform

  • Build and evolve self-service quality engineering platforms that enable product teams to independently validate their software.
  • Develop scalable automation frameworks supporting unit, integration, API, UI, end-to-end, regression, performance, security, and compliance testing.
  • Create reusable testing libraries, tooling, templates, and CI/CD integrations that standardize quality practices across engineering.
  • Define quality engineering standards, reference architectures, and best practices adopted across development teams.
  • Enable continuous verification through automated quality gates, production validation, synthetic monitoring, and release health checks.

AI-Enabled Quality Engineering

  • Define Veracyte's strategy for leveraging AI throughout the software testing lifecycle.
  • Build AI-assisted capabilities for automated test generation, regression analysis, defect classification, release risk assessment, test maintenance, and synthetic test data creation.
  • Partner with Data & AI teams to develop validation strategies for AI-powered products, including LLM evaluation, prompt regression testing, model monitoring, and human-in-the-loop verification.
  • Evaluate and adopt emerging AI technologies that improve engineering productivity and software quality.

Developer Enablement

  • Partner with Software Engineering teams to embed quality throughout the software development lifecycle using shift-left and shift-right engineering practices.
  • Coach engineering teams on automation strategies, testing best practices, and quality ownership.
  • Provide consulting, tooling, and technical guidance that enables product teams to deliver software with confidence.
  • Partner with DevOps and CloudOps to integrate quality engineering into modern CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native delivery platforms.

Operational Excellence

  • Establish engineering metrics that measure software quality, automation effectiveness, developer productivity, release confidence, platform adoption, and customer impact.
  • Drive observability, defect prevention, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Ensure software validation activities support regulatory requirements applicable to healthcare diagnostics, including HIPAA, CAP/CLIA, and FDA software quality expectations where appropriate.

Who You Are:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • 6 – 7 years of software engineering, quality engineering, or software development experience.
  • 3+ years leading Quality Engineering, Test Engineering, SDET, or Developer Platform engineering teams.
  • Proven experience building engineering platforms that improve software quality and developer productivity.
  • Strong background developing automated testing frameworks for cloud-native applications and distributed systems.
  • Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
  • Experience building internal developer platforms, engineering tooling, or self-service engineering capabilities.
  • Strong understanding of AWS cloud technologies, APIs, distributed systems, and modern software architecture.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, organizational, and people leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in healthcare, diagnostics, laboratory information systems (LIS/LIMS), molecular diagnostics, or regulated medical software.
  • Experience validating healthcare interoperability standards including HL7, FHIR, X12, and related healthcare transactions.
  • Experience testing AI-enabled products, machine learning systems, or generative AI applications.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development and testing tools to improve engineering productivity.
  • Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, REST Assured, Karate, Postman, JUnit, TestNG, or similar automation technologies.
  • Experience building automation using Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Infrastructure as Code, and cloud-native platforms.
  • Experience implementing performance engineering, security testing, chaos engineering, or site reliability engineering practices.
  • Experience working within regulated environments including HIPAA, FDA, CAP/CLIA, ISO 13485, or SOC 2.
  • AWS certifications or software testing certifications are a plus.
  • Experience leading distributed engineering organizations.
