About us

Camascope is a fast-growing technology company, now part of PCS, focused on empowering the care and medication sector with technology. Our ecosystem connects pharmacies, care homes and doctors to improve the lives of many.

PCS Care is used by care professionals every day, so reliability matters. We are a team of talented, caring and ambitious people who love solving real problems and are committed to building the highest-quality solutions.

What you will work on

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer on PCS Care, you will be an integral part of the Bengaluru team that develops, enhances and expands QA test coverage at scale for our care and medication product.
