Senior QA Automation Engineer (Remote US PST Hours)

Compensation: $40k – $50k • No equity

Senior QA Automation Engineer (Remote US PST Hours).

We are building an intelligent early health risk detection platform for patient health tracking at home, addressing a $100B+ market in the U.S. Our California-based team is focused on delivering measurable outcomes for patients and providers through scalable, high-quality technology.

We’re looking for a high-caliber Senior QA Automation Engineer who operates like an engineer, not just a tester: someone who can own quality systems, build automation at scale, and proactively identify risk in a fast-moving product environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Own quality end-to-end: from requirements review through release, ensuring production readiness.
• Architect, build, and scale automation frameworks for web and mobile applications.
• Write and maintain robust automated tests using Playwright (preferred), Pytest, and/or Selenium.
• Conduct deep exploratory testing to uncover edge cases and system-level risks.
• Validate features across web and mobile platforms (iOS/Android).
• Partner closely with engineering and product to define acceptance criteria and shift quality left.
• Drive test strategy, coverage, and quality metrics (not just execution).
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
• Own test case management (TestRail) and lead defect lifecycle in Jira with high-quality reporting.
• Ensure accessibility (ADA/WCAG) and overall user experience quality.

What You Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in QA with a strong emphasis on automation engineering.
• Strong programming skills in TypeScript and/or Python (required).
• Proven experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks from scratch or scaling existing ones.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright (strongly preferred) or Selenium.
• Experience testing mobile applications (native or cross-platform).
• Solid understanding of test architecture, CI/CD, and modern QA best practices.
• Experience with Git/GitHub, Jira, TestRail, and DevOps workflows.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to identify gaps, risks, and edge cases proactively.
• Excellent written and verbal English, especially for clear bug reporting and technical documentation.
• Ability to work USA PST hours and collaborate with a U.S.-based team.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in healthcare or regulated environments.
• Experience with API testing, performance testing, or security testing.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG/ADA).
• Prior experience in a startup or high-growth environment.

Why Join Us?

• Compensation: $40,000–$50,000 (based on experience).
• Work on a product that directly impacts patient outcomes at scale.
• High ownership role with real influence on product quality and engineering standards.
• Fast-paced, execution-focused environment with direct access to leadership.
• Clear path toward QA leadership or SDET growth.
• Fully remote with long-term growth potential.

Who This Role Is For:

• You think like an engineer first, QA second.
• You care about building systems, not just running test cases.
• You’re comfortable owning outcomes in an unstructured, fast-moving environment.
