Quality Assurance Lead

As a QA Lead in the healthcare technology industry, you will play a vital role in leading quality initiatives for our healthcare solutions. Your primary responsibility will be to design, develop, and implement test strategies with a strong focus on automated test coverage for UI, API, and backend components. You will need to build and maintain reusable test frameworks to support ongoing development cycles and ensure the enforcement of quality standards and processes across projects. Collaboration with product, development, and DevOps teams will be essential to ensure the testability, reliability, and performance of releases. You will also be responsible for integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines, monitoring quality metrics, and identifying areas for improvement. Participation in sprint planning, story grooming, and all phases of the software development lifecycle will be crucial to embed a quality-first approach. To be successful in this role, you should have 6-9 years of experience in software testing, with a significant focus on test automation. Proficiency in tools such as playwright, cypress, or similar frameworks, along with scripting/programming skills in languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, or Java, will be necessary. Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps is also required. A solid understanding of QA methodologies, test lifecycle management, and risk-based testing approaches is essential. Experience working in Agile teams, collaborating across geographies and time zones, and familiarity with healthcare workflows, compliance standards, and working with US/UK clients will be advantageous. Excellent analytical, communication, and leadership skills are crucial for this role. In addition to defining and driving quality metrics, processes, and standards, you will be responsible for defining test scope, objectives, timelines, resource needs, and risk assessments for each project. Performing hands-on testing when needed, especially during high-risk or critical releases, will also be part of your responsibilities.,
