Quality Assurance Engineer

Care Access is hiring a Quality Assurance Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of software supporting clinical research and participant pre-screening operations. The role develops and maintains manual and automated testing strategies, with a focus on end-to-end test automation, and collaborates with product development teams to identify and resolve defects.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain automated end-to-end test suites using Playwright across web and API surfaces
• Perform exploratory and structured manual testing on complex user flows, edge cases, and regression scenarios
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable feedback on every pull request
• Collaborate closely with engineers and designers during development to shift quality left, writing tests alongside features, not after
• Triage, reproduce, and document bugs with clear steps and context that accelerate resolution
• Contribute to and improve QA processes, standards, and tooling across the engineering organization
• Participate in test planning, sprint ceremonies, and release readiness reviews

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency with Playwright (or a comparable framework like Cypress or Puppeteer) and the ability to write maintainable, reliable tests
• Solid manual testing instincts: you know when to automate and when hands-on exploration surfaces more value
• Experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
• Familiarity with testing APIs alongside UI flows, including REST and GraphQL endpoints
• Strong communication skills: you can write a clear bug report, explain a test strategy, and advocate for quality with engineers and PMs alike
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and judgment matters
• Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of experience in software QA, with meaningful time spent in test automation
• Care Access is unable to sponsor work visas at this time
