Our small, remote team develops medical software used by patients, Doctors, and healthcare workers used world-wide. We need someone to take the lead on software &system quality as well being a contributor to new features . Your first responsibility will be on validating builds and deciding if they can be released to our patients and users. You will quality in our continuous integration &deployment pipeline (CI/CD) for our entire stack: system, API, and React-based interfaces (Mobile is handled separately). It's your call to assess a release and say it will really work for our users. It's your role to identify testing gaps, hold the line on making sure the system is truly validated, push-back PRs if they don't meet your testing standards, make sure that test gaps are known, and to help fill them as needed. When errors are found in the system by users, it's on you to make sure that such errors will be found in advance the next time around. This is a particular discipline and focus. However, candidates are expected to also contribute to adding new functionality, not just validating it. Your skills with modern system tools such as Nodjs, Mongo, SQL &NoSQL, containers, as well as frontend web skills with React mean you can take on a variety of development responsibilities and handle complexity.
