Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Pulsara develops software that helps healthcare teams coordinate care for time-critical patients. The Senior Software Development Engineer in Test builds and sustains test automation, plans and executes testing across Pulsara’s platform, investigates defects, and mentors team members to strengthen software quality and reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks and test suites that perform reliably over time. Improve test coverage, execution performance, and maintainability while minimizing flaky tests
• Create, maintain, and troubleshoot test environments and supporting tools. Integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows to help identify issues earlier and support dependable releases
• Develop practical test strategies, plans, and reusable test cases based on requirements, technical complexity, risk, and customer workflows. Perform manual and automated testing across mobile and web applications, internal and public APIs, database migrations, and tools running in AWS to identify defects, risks, and unexpected behavior
• Share your experience designing and maintaining reliable automation to mentor other Test Engineering team members, strengthen their technical capabilities, and help shape the team's approach to testing and automation
• Explore edge cases, complex system interactions, and real-world conditions. Apply technical expertise and sound judgment to determine where automation adds value and where hands-on testing is essential
• Troubleshoot complex defects and test failures, document reproducible findings, collaborate on solutions, and verify fixes
• Understand how healthcare professionals use Pulsara and recognize where technical issues, unexpected behavior, or workflow friction could affect their ability to coordinate care
• Identify opportunities to improve testing practices, automation, and tools. Apply new technologies, including AI-assisted tools, where they meaningfully improve quality and efficiency

Requirements:

• Demonstrated expertise in software testing and quality assurance, including test planning, manual and exploratory testing, regression testing, and defect reporting
• A proven track record of designing, implementing, and maintaining reliable automation frameworks and substantial test suites over time, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing across mobile, web, and API environments
• Experience mentoring other engineers or testers, sharing technical expertise, and helping guide testing and automation practices
• Hands-on programming or scripting experience with languages such as Swift, Java, Kotlin, Ruby, TypeScript, Bash, Python, or comparable technologies
• Practical experience testing mobile and web applications, internal and public APIs, database migrations, and complex system integrations
• Experience with mobile testing tools and frameworks such as Xcode/XCTest for iOS, Android Studio/Espresso/Jetpack Compose for Android, and Playwright for web
• Experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, CI/CD workflows, Linux environments, and troubleshooting automated tests and test environments
• Working knowledge of AWS services such as EC2, CloudWatch, ECS, ECR, or CloudFormation, and familiarity with supporting tools such as Docker or Fastlane
• Experience with test management and issue-tracking tools such as Jira, Qase, or comparable platforms
• Strong technical judgment, debugging, and problem-solving skills, including identifying root causes and determining when manual or automated testing is most effective
• Effective communication and collaboration with Software Engineers, Product Managers, DevOps, and other testing professionals
• Hands-on experience exploring AI-assisted development and testing tools, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or ChatGPT, including using LLMs to generate test cases, test data, or support troubleshooting
• Applicants must reside in the U.S
• Must be authorized to work for any U.S. employer without sponsorship, now or in the future
• Experience testing healthcare technology, mission-critical software, or applications in regulated environments
• Familiarity with testing nondeterministic AI outputs
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
