We're seeking a Senior Automation Engineer to establish our test automation practice from the ground up. Currently, we rely entirely on manual testing - we need someone to change that. You'll be our first automation hire, responsible for selecting tools, building frameworks, creating our automation strategy, and most importantly, training our QA team to use and maintain what you build. This isn't just about writing automated tests - it's about transforming how we approach quality. You'll need to understand our complex healthcare workflows, figure out what's worth automating, build maintainable frameworks, and collaborate with teams new to automation. Perfect for senior automation professionals who want to own something completely, enjoy teaching others, and can build sustainable automation practices that outlast them. This is a rare opportunity to shape automation strategy without inheriting legacy decisions.

Assess current testing practices and identify automation opportunities
Select and implement test automation tools and frameworks
Build automation framework from scratch that non-programmers can eventually use
Create proof-of-concept automations to demonstrate value to leadership
Start with high-value test cases (smoke tests, regression tests)
Train QA engineers to run, maintain, and write basic automated tests
Partner with developers to make applications more testable
Establish automation standards, patterns, and best practices
Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines
Create documentation and training materials for the team
Build data-driven tests for complex billing scenarios
Develop a roadmap for expanding automation coverage
Present automation metrics and ROI to management

Track record of training manual QA engineers in automation
Experience with CI/CD integration
Ability to work independently without existing automation infrastructure
Strong communication skills to sell automation value to skeptics
Patient teacher who can train non-technical team members
Experience selecting tools based on team skills and needs

Will be a plus:

Healthcare or EHR testing experience
Experience with .NET application testing (since your stack is .NET)
Successfully implemented automation at a company with no prior automation
Experience with low-code/no-code automation tools for non-programmers
Knowledge of Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and other frameworks
API and performance testing experience
Experience calculating and presenting automation ROI
Background in both development and QA
