Role: Senior Automation Engineer. Location: 100% Remote.

Job Description: The Senior Automation Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the automation framework that powers the Synthetic Data & Automation Platform supporting the Community Care Network Next Generation (CCN NG) program. This role develops the automated integration validation capabilities that enable continuous testing, rapid regression analysis, and reliable verification of healthcare transaction processing across the CCN NG product portfolio.

Working as a member of the Synthetic Data & Automation Engineering Team, the Senior Automation Engineer builds scalable automation frameworks, API validation services, continuous integration pipelines, and reusable execution components that transform synthetic healthcare transaction data into repeatable integration validation. The role emphasizes engineering automation, platform reliability, and continuous delivery over traditional test script development.

Reporting to the Automation & Synthetic Data Architect, the Senior Automation Engineer collaborates closely with the Healthcare Interoperability Engineer, Senior Synthetic Data Engineer, Automation Intelligence Engineer, and Integration Validation Engineer to establish a robust automation platform supporting engineering, integration, and release readiness activities.

Description Mission: Design, develop, and continuously evolve the automation capabilities of the CCN NG Synthetic Data & Automation Platform by delivering scalable frameworks, automated integration validation, and continuous engineering pipelines that improve software quality, accelerate delivery, and reduce operational risk.
