What you’ll do

In a few words

Abarca is igniting a revolution in healthcare. We built our company on the belief that with smarter technology we are redefining pharmacy benefits, but this is just the beginning

The Quality Engineering team is responsible for ensuring the quality of software applications through continuous testing and evaluation during the SDLC, using agile software development. We validate software functionality against requirements, and advance the test automation process with UI, mobile, integration (API), unit, performance, and security testing. The team also automates functional test cases during sprints to build a regression testing library and acts as a gatekeeper in the release management process to ensure on-time and quality software deployments.

As our Software Automation Engineer, you will automate testing processes within Abarca’s software solutions. You will be responsible for collaborating with Agile Software Development Teams in devising appropriate code-based testing approaches and test settings to ensure the utmost quality of our systems from a coding standpoint. As a company that heavily relies on cutting-edge Information Technology operations to serve its members, you will become a unique individual with a strong team mentality and a genuine passion for both software development and quality engineering. You’ll work hands-on with developers in order to review code via the development of test cases that challenge the software’s functional requirements, which will control the quality of the code development and assure adherence to coding standards.

The fundamentals for the job

• Design, develop, maintain, and troubleshoot software applications and software testing tools.
• Plan and execute software focused testing to quickly identify defects early in the development and integration process, reduce regression and configuration testing time through automation, and confirm that the product functions as intended.
• Utilize open-source tools (RPA and other automation tools) or develop custom scripts for automating tests to validate software products involving both back-end processing systems and Web-based GUIs.
• Work closely with Agile team members (Product Management, Architecture, Development, Quality Engineering, and Automation peers).
• Ensure automation framework(s) can test the product software at multiple points including UI, API, back-end data processing applications and server code.
• Develop and execute automated test cases for functional, integration, and regression.
• Review and provide analysis for test cases to identify and develop automation strategies.
• Recommend and implement improvements to both the code and functional levels of the product(s).
• Perform routine automation assignments with minimum supervision.
• Ensure that code is embedded with software functional specifications.
• Collaborate with Quality Engineering team and sometimes lead to ensure test cases are automated and can be delivered.
• Simulate automated stress tests to maintain the overall performance and health of the system in place.
• Mentor, coach, train, code review and support Software Quality Engineers on how to develop and execute automation code.
