This role is part of the software engineering organization responsible for designing, developing, verifying, and maintaining web and mobile applications that support therapy delivery, patient engagement, and clinical outcomes in a regulated medical device environment.As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test, you will lead quality engineering and software verification activities for secure, scalable web and mobile solutions. You will work across the software development lifecycle, partnering with cross-functional teams to define test strategies, build maintainable automation, strengthen product quality, and deliver compliant digital products in a regulated medical device environment.Primary Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and execution of software verification and test automation solutions spanning web, mobile, API, backend microservices, and integrated systems.
• Define comprehensive test strategies, test plans, risk-based verification approaches, and release-quality criteria based on business, system, software, and regulatory requirements.
• Design, develop, debug, and maintain production-grade automated tests and reusable test frameworks using established architectural and coding standards.
• Translate business, system, and software requirements into traceable test designs, test cases, automation assets, and objective verification evidence.
• Validate frontend user interfaces, backend microservices, APIs, databases, messaging workflows, and end-to-end system behavior.
• Implement automated functional, integration, regression, negative, reliability, and performance tests, as appropriate to product risk and architecture.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and establish quality gates that provide timely feedback on build and release readiness.
• Apply secure coding and test-development practices, including code reviews, version control, maintainability, reuse, and appropriate test-data handling.
• Collaborate with architects, technical leads, software engineers, systems engineers, quality engineers, security teams, DevOps engineers, Product Owners, and UI/UX engineers throughout product development.
