Our organization contributes directly to this mission through our rich software system, which include Mobile and Web applications combined with scaled infrastructure and advanced analytics. Become part of our team and you will be challenged to build these amazing software products, and in the process, make a real difference.

As a Sr, Software Development Engineer in Test, you will design and build the frameworks to test and deploy these complex systems. Our product suite spans from medical devices that a patient wears, to mobile apps, up to our back-end servers – so this is a challenging task, and one that requires very critical thinking to ensure the system performs well, and the data is correct.

We develop with some of the latest technologies across iOS, Android and Web, paired with continuous build and test with tools like Jenkins, Selenium and Appium. Our test engineering team is encouraged to drive new ways to improve automation, with the goal of highly scaled testing across numerous hardware and OS variations.
