Job summary

Care Access seeks a Senior Engineer, Test Automation to design and advance automated testing infrastructure with a focus on Playwright-based end-to-end testing for regulated software platforms.

You will collaborate with product, engineering, and quality teams, applying GxP validation principles and exploring AI-assisted testing while maintaining compliance across the development lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of software or QA engineering experience with meaningful depth in test automation.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and improve the end-to-end test automation framework, with Playwright as the primary toolchain across UI, API, and integration layers.
• Author and maintain release validation documentation, in support of 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP compliance.
• Evaluate and apply AI-assisted testing techniques, such as LLM-based test generation and intelligent failure triage, to extend coverage and reduce toil.
• Integrate and maintain quality gates across CI/CD pipelines, balancing speed with the rigor required for a regulated environment.
• Partner with engineers during active development to shift quality left — writing tests alongside features and surfacing risk early.
• Contribute to QA process improvements and share knowledge with teammates; you’re a resource others lean on without being responsible for managing them.

Job description

Care Access is working to make the future of health better for all. With hundreds of research locations, mobile clinics, and clinicians across the globe, we bring world-class research and health services directly to communities that often face barriers to care. We are dedicated to ensuring that every person has the opportunity to understand their health, access the care they need, and contribute to the medical breakthroughs of tomorrow.

With programs like Future of Medicine, which makes advanced health screenings and research opportunities accessible to communities worldwide, and Difference Makers, which supports local leaders to expand their community health and wellbeing efforts, we put people at the heart of medical progress. Through partnerships, technology, and perseverance, we are reimagining how clinical research and health services reach the world. Together, we are building a future of health that is better and more accessible for all.

The Senior Engineer, Test Automation is responsible for designing, implementing, and advancing the automated testing infrastructure that supports Care Access's regulated software platforms. This position develops and maintains scalable test automation frameworks, with a strong emphasis on Playwright-based end-to-end testing, to ensure the quality, reliability, and compliance of software solutions throughout the development lifecycle. The role applies expertise in GxP validation principles and computerized system validation to support software quality within a regulated environment.

The Senior Engineer collaborates closely with cross-functional product, engineering, and quality teams to integrate automated testing into development and deployment processes, promote quality engineering best practices, and continuously improve testing strategies. This position also evaluates and implements emerging technologies, including AI-assisted testing approaches, to expand test coverage, improve efficiency, and strengthen software validation while ensuring compliance with applicable regulatory and organizational requirements.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Build, maintain, and improve the end-to-end test automation framework, with Playwright as the primary toolchain across UI, API, and integration layers.
• Author and maintain release validation documentation, in support of 21 CFR Part 11 and GxP compliance.
• Evaluate and apply AI-assisted testing techniques, such as LLM-based test generation and intelligent failure triage, to extend coverage and reduce toil.
• Integrate and maintain quality gates across CI/CD pipelines, balancing speed with the rigor required for a regulated environment.
• Partner with engineers during active development to shift quality left — writing tests alongside features and surfacing risk early.
• Contribute to QA process improvements and share knowledge with teammates; you’re a resource others lean on without being responsible for managing them.

The Expertise Required

• Strong proficiency with Playwright and experience building automation frameworks that are reliable and easy to maintain.
• Exposure to GxP validation practices — you have contributed to or authored traceability matrices and validation summary reports.
• Familiarity with 21 CFR Part 11, GCP, or similar regulatory frameworks as they apply to software systems.
• Curiosity about AI tooling in testing — you’ve experimented with or are eager to explore LLM-assisted test generation and failure analysis.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: you can read production code, debug across the stack, and build test infrastructure engineers actually want to use.
• Clear communication: you can explain test strategy and risk tradeoffs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Certifications/Licenses, Education, and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of software or QA engineering experience, with meaningful depth in test automation.
