Were looking for a Senior Quality Engineering Lead to join a growing U.S.-based healthcare technology company building large-scale operational platforms that support critical service coordination across multiple business lines.

This is not a traditional QA role.

Were looking for someone who thinks like an engineer operates like a systems owner and can build a modern quality engineering function from the ground up inside a highly collaborative fast-moving environment.

Youll partner closely with engineering leadership to define how quality is built measured and scaled across a distributed platform that supports real-world operational workflows. This is a high-impact role with strong visibility and the opportunity to shape engineering standards across the organization.

The environment is highly technical but the real challenge is strategic: creating scalable quality practices that enable teams to move fast while maintaining reliability confidence and operational excellence.

What Youll Be Doing

• Defining and leading the overall Quality Engineering strategy
  
• Building scalable automated testing practices across multiple teams and services
  
• Driving end-to-end quality initiatives for complex operational workflows
  
• Establishing modern CI/CD quality standards and release confidence practices
  
• Partnering with engineers and architects to improve system reliability and testability
  
• Leading quality initiatives around observability automation and process improvement
  
• Creating documentation training and enablement programs for engineering teams
  
• Mentoring and growing a small QE team
  
• Acting as a quality advocate across Core Engineering
  

What we are looking for:

• Strong experience leading Quality Engineering or Test Automation initiatives in modern software environments
  
• Hands-on experience working / C# ecosystems
  
• Strong understanding of automated testing frameworks and strategies including integration API contract and end-to-end testing
  
• Experience working in distributed event-driven or microservices-based architectures
  
• Familiarity with tools and frameworks such as xUnit Playwright Testcontainers Pact or similar technologies
  
• Experience testing asynchronous workflows and messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
  
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines automation-first environments and release quality practices
  
• Experience validating database integrations and complex backend workflows
  
• Ability to influence engineering culture and drive quality best practices across teams
  
• Comfortable operating in highly collaborative fast-paced engineering organizations
  
• Strong communication and leadership skills
  
• Experience in healthcare or regulated environments is a plus
  

Why this role stands out:

• Foundational leadership opportunity with significant ownership
  
• Greenfield platform using modern engineering practices
  
• Direct impact on engineering quality standards across the organization
  
• Highly collaborative and engineering-driven culture
  
• Long-term growth potential and strategic visibility
  
• Fully remote opportunity for LATAM-based professionals
  

If you enjoy building systems influencing engineering culture and creating scalable quality practices in complex environments this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact from day one.
