In this role, you will drive and elevate the quality assurance process for a high-impact software platform, from defining test requirements and building automation frameworks to mentoring junior QA engineers and signing off on releases. This is an exciting opportunity for QA engineers who enjoy designing robust automation, thrive in a high-pressure, high-performance environment, and take pride in rigorous, detail-oriented work. It will also be an exciting opportunity to learn about modern life sciences and bioinformatics.

  • Participate in the full product development lifecycle, from defining test requirements at the start of a project to signing off on releases for quality.
  • Track and manage test issues, working closely with engineers and product teams to resolve them efficiently.
  • Write and review concise test documentation, and revise older test cases to achieve greater testing coverage.
  • Mentor junior QA engineers and promote best testing practices across the team.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product, and other stakeholders within an agile development environment.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in Quality Assurance, with a strong focus on test automation.
  • Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining test frameworks and test cases.
  • Strong programming experience in Python.
  • Hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver and test frameworks such as Pytest.
  • Familiarity with test management tools (e.g., TestRail, QC) and API testing tools (e.g., Postman, SoapUI).
  • Ability to work effectively in agile or Scrum-based teams, both independently and collaboratively.
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, excellent written and spoken English, and a meticulous, quality-driven mindset.

Nice to have:

  • Any previous experience or study related to bioinformatics
  • Experience managing QA projects end-to-end.
  • Experience mentoring or leading junior QA engineers.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automation into the build process.
