Build the quality engineering capability behind digital healthcare experiences.

We are seeking a software engineer who is passionate about quality, automation, and creating systems that help teams deliver with confidence. In this role, you will design and own scalable test automation for patient-facing web and mobile applications, APIs, Epic integrations, and other digital experiences. You will work as an embedded engineering partner, writing production-quality test code, shaping testability, and integrating fast, reliable quality signals into Azure DevOps pipelines. This is an opportunity to establish a modern quality engineering practice, influence how software is designed and released, and see your work improve the reliability of digital experiences used in healthcare.

You will have the opportunity to build more than individual test scripts. You will shape a reusable quality engineering capability that supports multiple teams, improves release confidence, and creates more time for engineers to deliver valuable features. The role offers meaningful technical ownership, close partnership with experienced application and platform teams, and the chance to apply modern automation and AI-assisted engineering practices to consequential healthcare technology.

This is a remote position but you must reside in Colorado. Candidates will be considered for one of the following levels: Application Developer (3+ years of relevant experience, $39.64 - $59.46 / hour) or Application Developer Senior (5+ years of relevant experience, $48.56- $72.84 / hour).

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain reusable automated testing frameworks for responsive web applications, native and hybrid mobile experiences, REST APIs, and integrated end-to-end workflows.
• Create stable, readable, and maintainable automated tests using modern tools such as Playwright for browser and API testing and Appium or native frameworks for iOS and Android testing.
• Integrate automated tests, quality gates, results, and diagnostic artifacts into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines so teams receive actionable feedback early in the development lifecycle.
• Partner with developers, analysts, product owners, architects, and IT testing resources to translate requirements and business risk into effective test strategies and prioritized automation coverage.
• Build automation for critical patient and employee workflows, including authentication, session management, deep links, push notifications, device and operating-system variations, and third-party integrations.
• Develop API and integration tests for Epic EHR, FHIR, web services, in-house APIs, and other external systems; validate both expected behavior and resilient failure handling.
• Improve application testability by contributing code, test hooks, utilities, test data strategies, mocks, service virtualization, and environment configuration in partnership with feature teams.
• Investigate failed tests and software defects using logs, traces, telemetry, network data, and debugging tools; distinguish product defects from test, data, and environment issues.
• Monitor and improve automation health by reducing flaky tests, optimizing execution time, strengthening diagnostics, and retiring low-value or redundant tests.
• Establish practical quality metrics and baselines, including automated coverage of high-risk workflows, regression execution time, defect detection timing, escaped defects, and manual effort reduced.
• Contribute to code reviews, coding standards, documentation, and shared engineering practices. Coach developers and testers on effective automation, test design, and quality ownership.
• Use AI-assisted development and testing tools responsibly to accelerate test design, code creation, documentation, and analysis while validating accuracy, maintainability, security, and alignment with business requirements.

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years of software development or test automation engineering experience with regular hands-on coding responsibilities.
• High School diploma or GED.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language used for auto…
