• HIPAA-aware test data management — de-identification pipelines, synthetic data generation, and audit trail validation
• Integration of automated tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous delivery confidence
• Build stability monitoring and release gate enforcement before any deployment
• Documentation of test plans, test results, and evaluation standards to support knowledge sharing
• The "safety net" for product quality — you define what done looks like

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of hands-on SDET experience, with recent work building or testing agentic AI systems (single- or multi-agent) in production
• Experience in healthcare or life sciences — you understand what's at stake when a system fails in this domain
• A true tester's mindset: you seek out edge cases, adversarial inputs, and failure modes others overlook
• Proficiency across the full test pyramid — unit, integration, system, performance, and exploratory — plus familiarity with LLM-specific evaluation approaches
• Strong debugging skills across multi-tier web and mobile architectures; comfortable jumping into production incidents
• Proficiency with testing frameworks such as Jest, React Testing Library, Supertest, and pytest.
• Hands-on experience with testing tools like Cypress, Playwright, Supertest, and pytest (including requests or Selenium-based testing)
• Experience testing RESTful APIs using tools like Postman or Supertest
• Solid command of JavaScript and Python

• Ensure Reliability & Observability: Set up and maintain Datadog RUM dashboards, implement comprehensive error tracking, and debug production issues to maintain high system reliability.
• Champion Testing & Quality: Write and maintain robust E2E tests (Playwright) for critical booking flows and ensure high component test coverage (Vitest, React Testing Library).
• Implement Secure Integrations: Build secure authentication flows (Auth0, OAuth 2.0) and handle payment processing data (Stripe, Affirm) according to strict PCI and frontend security standards.
• Collaborate & Mentor: Work autonomously while surfacing blockers early. Mentor junior engineers, partner closely with Product and Design, and comfortably challenge product decisions using data.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of professional frontend software engineering experience, with a deep understanding of React (React 19 preferred, including hooks and functional components).
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript (strict mode, generics, type safety).
• Solid experience with modern state management (Zustand, TanStack Query) and utility-first CSS (Tailwind).
• A strong track record of writing, maintaining, and debugging automated tests using Playwright, Vitest, and React Testing Library.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring and experimentation tooling (Datadog RUM, PostHog, or similar).
• A data-driven, user-focused mindset: you empathize with customer pain points and make decisions based on metrics rather than opinions.
• A strong "startup mentality": you are comfortable with ambiguity, know how to balance speed with quality, and take deep ownership of outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience with e-commerce, checkout flows, or headless commerce platforms (e.g., CommerceTools).
• Experience with design systems and mobile-first design implementation.
• Experience with component libraries (e.g., Material UI) and implementing mobile-first design systems.
• Deep performance optimization expertise (Core Web Vitals, bundle optimization).
• Knowledge of Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
• Experience with Next.js (App Router, SSR/SSG patterns).
• Familiarity with healthcare or heavily regulated industries.
