Newfire is seeking a Lead Manual QA Engineer

What's the Project?
The project is delivering a high-confidence, high-security, high-flexibility platform for managing clinical experience and health records for US healthcare. The QA activities on that project will be performed very closely with the engineering team and the end users, spanning both functional and non-functional tests, like security, scalability or performance. The company is investing in AI-related capabilities and tools to enhance the structure, quality, and efficiency of testing.


The Lead Quality Engineer is responsible for designing and executing the overall testing strategy, including performance testing activities for a broad range of applications and platforms. This individual will drive an overall testing strategy with the proper mix of business knowledge and technical leadership. Planning activities involve working closely with architects and technical leads to define the long-term strategy for repeatable and scalable performance testing activities within the organization. Duties also include creating quality standards for products and testing systems for efficiency, reliability and performance.

Your day-to-day activities:

  • Develop and improve test strategy, test standards, test plans, test reports, and QA processes
  • Organize and manage test design and implementation tasks on a project for
    yourself and the whole QA team (8-10 people)
  • Conduct and report on the analysis of test results and coverage factors.
  • Develop and execute tests for end-to-end scenarios, reported customer-facing
    issues, and other externally initiated sources.
  • Participate in requirements discussions and identify requirements that may be
    missing, wrong, or lacking clarity.
  • Ensure proper communication occurs with the project teams on the test status,
    issues and deployment risk.
  • Work with development and project management to troubleshoot issues, manage change and mitigate risk.

You’re a perfect match if you have:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, or an IT related discipline plus 5 years related experience, in lieu of a master’s degree.
  • 8+ years of experience in functional, non-functional, regression and acceptance testing.
  • Strong knowledge in QA methodologies and standards, preferably confirmed by relevant certifications.
  • Experience in working with software specifications and documentation.
  • Thorough process knowledge on all phases of Agile and software releases.
  • Excellent analytical, debugging, planning, organizational and communication skills.
  • Proven experience leading QA teams and mentoring QA engineers
  • Experience driving QA process improvements and promoting testing best practices.
  • Understanding of DB and behavior-driven testing is required for this role; MongoDB and Databricks testing experience is strongly preferred.
  • Knowledge of Agile and JIRA.
  • Strong collaboration, reporting and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across development, product, and production support teams.
  • Experience with web application testing.
  • Experience in breaking the system and thinking out of the box while doing functional testing.
  • Detail-oriented and comfortable working with developers, product owners and other project stakeholders.
  • Should have worked in an offshore model.
Nice to have:
  • Playwright and Selenium experience
  • Healthcare application testing experience is a plus.
  • Experience testing AI-powered features and applications.
  • Experience using AI-assisted testing tools to improve test design, automation, and execution
