[Hiring] QA Lead / Quality Engineering Lead - AI-Native Quality Systems @Zenara Health

Role Description

This role involves building AI-powered clinical software with a focus on quality engineering. The quality function needs to operate at the same level of intelligence and autonomy as the products it tests.

• Architect test automation from zero — Playwright-based E2E, API, and integration test suites across multiple healthcare products
• Build AI-augmented QA — use Claude, Copilot, and AI tools to generate test cases, identify edge cases, and create self-healing test suites
• Integrate QA into AI-assisted development workflows — shift-left testing that catches defects at the source, not the gate
• Own the quality gate — if you don't trust it, it doesn't ship. You have release authority.
• Design regression automation that maintains coverage as multiple products evolve simultaneously
• Establish quality engineering culture — documentation, runbooks, test plans that aren't in anyone's head

Qualifications

• 4-8 years of experience in QA, SDET, or Quality Engineering
• Minimum of 2 years in roles such as QA Lead, QA Manager, SDET Lead, or Senior Quality Engineer
• Experience in designing and building test frameworks from the ground up
• Skilled in Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium
• Proficient in automated REST API testing using tools such as REST Assured, Postman automation, or custom solutions
• Ability to write, debug, and review test automation code in JavaScript or TypeScript
• Experienced in linking tests into deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar tools
• Familiarity with branching, pull requests, and conducting code reviews for test scripts
• Capable of developing test plans based on product requirements
• Ability to set up and maintain isolated test infrastructure using Docker/containerized environments
• Strong proficiency in English communication

Requirements

• Experience in managing or mentoring QA teams (strongly preferred)
• Familiarity with healthcare SaaS or compliance testing under HIPAA (strongly preferred)
• Expertise in performance testing using K6, JMeter, or Artillery (strongly preferred)
• SQL and database-level data integrity testing experience (strongly preferred)
• AI-assisted testing using LLMs for test generation, test data, and exploratory automation (strongly preferred)
• Familiarity with React or Next.js (strongly preferred)
• Experience with BDD/TDD methodologies (strongly preferred)
• Experience in security testing (nice to have)
• Knowledge of FHIR/HL7 data validation (nice to have)
• Experience in accessibility testing (WCAG 2.1) (nice to have)
• Mobile/responsive web testing experience (nice to have)
• Experience in data pipeline or ETL testing (nice to have)
• Background in startup or high-growth environments (nice to have)
• Previous roles where QA influenced architectural decisions (nice to have)

Benefits

• Compensation ranging from ₹20–30 LPA depending on skills and experience
• Fully remote work opportunity available across India
• Equipment allowance provided
