Staff QA Automation Engineer

Is it possible for you to openly access your company’s financial data, or HR records? No, of course not. Did you know, however, that in hospitals across the country, any doctor, any nurse, or any person from any department with computer access can easily review your healthcare information? I know what you're thinking, and you're correct. Yes, that is a privacy violation; and there were 40 million of these breaches in 2020 alone. Crazy, right? This is the problem smart engineers (like you!) can solve.  

The Protenus Healthcare Compliance Analytics platform is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that ingests robust, unique data feeds to provide visibility into potential patterns of suspicious behavior that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our AI and advanced analytics empower subject matter experts to mitigate and ultimately reduce organizational risk — whether it's an employee improperly accessing patient records, or a clinician diverting medications — in an efficient, accurate, and scalable manner. If the opportunity to thwart these bad actors doesn’t excite you, maybe the opportunity to serve on a team filled with other engineers who do different work than you, and together, you will collaborate and influence the end result of this cutting-edge technology, will do the trick.

Currently, Protenus is looking for a Staff QA Automation Engineer to help build, develop, and lay the foundation for this soon to be expanding team. This individual needs to be passionate about building quality software and assertive in requiring a high level of quality control.  The Staff  QA Automation Engineer will build the automation framework, automation tools, and develop automation scripts for validating Protenus’ various systems and applications.  You will build functional automation scripts, both UI & API, to integrate with our CI/CD pipeline. We hope this opportunity to be on the forefront of this work at Protenus will bring a new spark and drive to your career.

We encourage experienced QA Automation Engineers to apply who want to bring their own perspective on how to solve a variety of internal and external opportunities.  This innovative leader must be versatile, display exceptional leadership qualities, and be enthusiastic to tackle new problems in a robust and forward thinking business and technical environment. As you know, at times it's more art than science. You will be our resident expert, in depth and breadth, in Quality Assurance and Control. You will also provide technical leadership managing all tasks related to QA.

About Protenus

Our HQ is located in the Fells Point area of Baltimore, MD. We love our office and hope you will too, but we won't require you to work from there. We made the decision to be a "virtual first" organization in early 2021. Even after COVID is a thing of the past, we will remain virtual first. If you live in the area and would like to come in, great! If you are in town to meet with your team, even better! We welcome you (and dogs) anytime. We operate with "big person rules" and let you make the decision about what works best for you, your life and your family. Results > Location
