About the Role

RhythmScience wants an engineer who takes hands-on ownership of software quality, including building automated test coverage and working with product to create test plans before development starts.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain automated end-to-end and regression tests in Playwright, and keep them reliable in CI/CD
• Run functional, regression, and integration testing across the web and mobile apps
• Work directly with product and engineering on test plans for new features, joining early and helping define acceptance criteria rather than validating a finished spec
• Help define release readiness criteria and quality gates as the team grows
• Triage, reproduce, and clearly document defects
• Track quality signals such as escaped defects, coverage, and flake rate, and share them with the team
• Improve testing tools and processes as the company scales

What You’ll Need

• At least 3 years of software QA experience with hands-on automation work in Playwright or an equivalent tool
• Ability to write test plans from product requirements and own them through release
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
• A pragmatic, self-directed approach in a fast-moving startup, building process rather than just following it
• US-based, with solid Pacific Time overlap for daily work with product and engineering
• Strong written communication for clear, reproducible bug reports and test documentation

Nice to Have

• Experience testing HIPAA-compliant systems, or an understanding of protected health information (PHI) handling requirements
• API testing experience or familiarity with EHR integrations using HL7 or FHIR
• Background in healthcare SaaS, remote patient monitoring (RPM), or clinical data platforms

What’s On Offer

• Base salary of $95,000 to $125,000, depending on experience
• Meaningful equity at a growth-stage company
• Full benefits
• A remote-first culture
