Automation Software Engineer Lead

Emedgene utilizes artificial intelligence and genomic data science to accelerate medical research and guide healthcare decisions at an unprecedented scale. Our technology is rapidly being adopted by leading medical centers, research institutes, and clinical laboratories and is helping to save and improve lives every day.

We are looking for the best and the brightest to share our innovative technology with the world.

Position Summary

This is not a traditional QA role. We are seeking a highly skilled software engineer with a strong foundation in Python and advanced software engineering concepts to design and build a domain-specific language (DSL) for automating complex testing scenarios. This role focuses on engineering solutions, not just writing test scripts, and requires a deep understanding of Python’s advanced features and modern software design.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement a custom automation framework that extends beyond traditional test scripts, including designing a DSL for automating manual test workflows.
• Drive the development of advanced testing solutions leveraging Python’s core features such as metaprogramming, decorators, hooks, and concurrency.
• Develop scalable and maintainable test frameworks and integrate them into a robust CI/CD pipeline.
• Collaborate with development and product teams to review specifications (SRS) and ensure test automation aligns with system design and product goals.
• Optimize performance and reliability of test execution across APIs, databases, and microservices.
• Develop strategies to increase automation coverage across multiple layers, including integration and system-level testing.
• Mentor team members in advanced Python techniques, best practices, and automation design patterns.
• Continuously analyze and improve testing workflows and processes for greater efficiency and scalability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of software engineering experience with at least 4+ years of advanced Python development, including experience with metaprogramming, concurrency (e.g., asyncio, threading), and Python internals.
• Expertise in building frameworks with pytest, including advanced use of hooks, fixtures, and plugins.
• Strong understanding of REST API testing, including schema validation, HTTP protocols, and error handling.
• Proficient in RDBMS concepts, preferably MySQL, including schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS and cloud monitoring tools like CloudWatch.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies and experience working in a fast-paced, iterative development environment.
• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills with a focus on system-wide impact and performance optimization.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with designing domain-specific languages (DSLs) or other advanced automation frameworks.
• Familiarity with containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and distributed systems testing.
• Experience with SaaS-based testing solutions and large-scale data processing systems.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a forward-thinking team developing industry-leading healthcare solutions.
• Work on challenging projects that directly impact lives.
• Collaborate with talented individuals in a dynamic and innovative environment.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and a track record of delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with SaaS and cloud platform tools such as AWS cloudwatch
