QA Engineer (Automation and AI tooling)

About The Role
Our client is looking for a Senior QA Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, security, and compliance of a modern, cloud-based dental practice management platform. The application includes a Ruby on Rails backend and a React frontend.
This role will focus on manual and automated testing, improving test coverage, identifying defects, and ensuring software quality throughout the development lifecycle. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Ranorex, Mabl, Postman, Selenium, or similar automation frameworks, along with experience using AI tools to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
You will work closely with developers and other stakeholders to identify issues early, strengthen regression testing, and establish reliable quality processes. Since the platform operates in a healthcare environment, a strong understanding of data privacy and the importance of protecting sensitive patient information is essential.
Key Responsibilities
Design, execute, and maintain manual and automated tests for web applications, APIs, and software integrations
Build and maintain automated test suites using Ranorex, Mabl, Selenium, or similar frameworks
Perform API testing using Postman or equivalent tools to validate endpoints, integrations, and expected application behavior
Conduct functional, integration, regression, exploratory, and end-to-end testing
Collaborate with developers to identify testing requirements, improve test coverage, and prevent regressions
Validate critical workflows, including scheduling, provider workflows, patient lookups, authentication, and other dental practice management functions
Identify, document, reproduce, and track defects, providing clear steps, environment details, and expected versus actual results
Support the development and maintenance of automated quality checks within CI/CD pipelines
Review test results and identify gaps in test coverage, reliability, and overall software quality
Use AI tools to accelerate test creation, identify coverage gaps, and improve QA workflows
Critically review AI-generated tests to ensure assertions, mocks, and test scenarios accurately reflect application behavior
Participate in code and pull request reviews to identify potential quality, security, and compliance risks
Maintain test documentation, test cases, coverage reports, and QA procedures
Work with synthetic and mock data exclusively to prevent exposure of real patient information
Identify potential security vulnerabilities and patient data privacy risks during testing
Collaborate with engineering teams to continuously improve testing processes and release confidence
Requirements
Proven experience in software quality assurance, including both manual and automated testing
Hands-on experience with Ranorex, Mabl, Postman, and Selenium or similar automation frameworks
Experience designing, executing, and maintaining automated test suites
Strong understanding of functional, regression, integration, API, and end-to-end testing
Experience testing web applications, APIs, and third-party integrations
Experience using Postman or similar tools to validate REST APIs
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated quality gates
Ability to investigate application behavior, reproduce defects, and document clear, actionable bug reports
Experience collaborating with developers to improve test coverage and software quality
Familiarity with Git-based workflows, pull requests, and Agile development practices
Ability to understand application behavior across frontend and backend systems
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a methodical approach to troubleshooting
AI Tooling & Automation — Required
Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent tools
Experience using AI tools to support test generation, test automation, test case development, or coverage analysis
Ability to evaluate AI-generated tests for correctness, meaningful assertions, and realistic test scenarios
Ability to identify hallucinated mocks, incorrect assumptions, and tests that would not detect actual regressions
Understanding that AI-generated code and tests must be reviewed and validated before being accepted
Willingness to incorporate AI tools into existing QA processes to improve efficiency without compromising quality
Nice to Have
Experience testing healthcare, dental, or other regulated SaaS applications
Familiarity with dental practice management systems, such as Orthotrac, PracticeWorks, SoftDent, or WinOMS
Experience with Ruby on Rails and React applications
Familiarity with RSpec, FactoryBot, WebMock, or VCR
Experience with Playwright or other end-to-end testing frameworks
Experience with performance and load testing tools such as k6 or Locust
Familiarity with Azure Cosmos DB and document-based data structures
Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD) or Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
Familiarity with healthcare data exchange standards such as HL7 or FHIR
Experience with visual regression testing or component testing.
