Position Summary:
The SDET II supports software quality assurance across multiple HealthTrust applications through a balanced mix of manual testing and test automation. This role is responsible for executing assigned test plans, performing exploratory testing, contributing to defect triage, and maintaining and expanding automated test coverage within HealthTrusts existing Playwright framework.
This position supports customer-facing, internal, and third-party integrated applications across varying levels of complexity. Success in this role requires the ability to work independently with limited supervision, learn business workflows and application behavior quickly, and communicate defects, risks, and test outcomes clearly in a distributed team environment.
In addition to strong manual QA capability, this role is expected to actively maintain automated tests, contribute new Playwright-based automated coverage, and help increase automation adoption over time within existing QA practices.
Responsibilities:
Execute assigned manual test plans across multiple applications with minimal supervision
Perform exploratory testing to identify defects, edge cases, and regression risks across customer-facing, internal, and integrated systems
Create, maintain, and update test cases, test execution results, defect triage, bug reports, and related QA documentation with clarity and precision
Validate end-to-end workflows across integrated systems, including API behavior, database results, logs, and downstream impacts where appropriate
Support regression testing efforts and provide reliable coverage of high-risk functional areas
Maintain and troubleshoot existing automated tests within the current Playwright framework
Work within established automation patterns, test data approaches, and CI/CD practices to support reliable test execution
Analyze manual regression areas and identify suitable candidates for automation within the existing framework
Learn business workflows, application behavior, and system dependencies quickly enough to test effectively across multiple product areas
Collaborate with developers, QA team members, and engineering partners to clarify expected behavior, reproduce issues, and communicate test results
Document test risks, gaps, and quality concerns clearly and proactively
Education Experience:
Experience: 35+ years of experience in software quality assurance, software testing, or SDET-related roles with meaningful hands-on experience in both manual testing and test automation
Background: Previous experience in web application QA, including exploratory testing, regression testing, defect documentation, and maintaining automated tests in an established framework. Experience supporting multi-application environments and contributing automated coverage in Playwright or a comparable UI automation tool is required.
Education: Bachelor's degree in computer science, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
