Quality Engineer

Role overview Help ensure the quality, security, reliability, and performance of software used for collaborative AI and drug discovery work. You will work with software engineers, data scientists, and product and infrastructure teams to plan testing across distributed systems, GPU-intensive workflows, and user-facing interfaces and APIs. The role covers quality throughout development and release, including automated testing, delivery safeguards, and learning from defects.

Responsibilities - Shape test strategies for new and complex features, identifying risks early and testing throughout development. - Build and maintain automated tests across multiple levels, and help other developers apply effective testing practices. - Improve test frameworks and scripts that automate routine work. - Establish automated quality checks in CI/CD pipelines and help teams shorten feedback cycles. - Coordinate release activities across products and support reliable delivery. - Facilitate defect review and root-cause analysis so incidents inform better engineering practices.

Nice to have - Exposure to pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences work. - Familiarity with test tools such as Playwright, Pytest, Pact, REST Assured, Selenium, or Cypress; Go or Vue.js; cloud or on-premises infrastructure; software security; or infrastructure-as-code and GitOps tools.
