Software QA Engineer

**About Us** We are a US\-based startup building next\-generation software platforms for regulated life sciences manufacturing and laboratories . Our products operate in GxP\-regulated environments, requiring strong engineering discipline, validation readiness, and security\-by\-design. Here, you won’t just be a cog in the machine — you’ll be part of building the machine. If you thrive in environments where you can wear multiple hats, roll up your sleeves, and see your work through from start to finish, this is your opportunity to make a real impact. We’re creating a culture of builders, thinkers, and problem\-solvers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo. Your voice will be heard, your ideas will matter, and your contributions will shape the future of our product and the industry. **WHAT YOU WILL DO** You will be the quality gatekeeper for a platform where a defect is not just a bug — it is a potential regulatory deviation. Working alongside backend engineers, SCADA specialists, and product managers, you will design and execute test strategies that cover functional correctness, GxP data integrity, multi\-tenant isolation, audit trail completeness, performance under OT workloads, and API contract compliance. This is a hands\-on, automation\-heavy role. You will write code, build pipelines, and own the CI/CD quality gates — not just log test cases in a spreadsheet. **RESPONSIBILITIES** Test Strategy \& GxP Compliance * Author and maintain the Master Validation Plan (MVP), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) documents for each platform module * Design test protocols aligned with 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and GAMP 5 Category 4/5 software classification * Validate electronic signature workflows, audit trail completeness, record locking, and change control traceability for all GxP records * Define and execute Data Integrity (ALCOA\+) test cases: Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate * Participate in risk assessments (FMEA / risk\-based testing) to prioritize test coverage across GxP\-critical paths Test Automation * Build and maintain API automation suites using REST Assured, Karate, or Playwright API mode against Kotlin/Spring microservices * Develop end\-to\-end UI automation for complex multi\-step GxP workflows (MBR execution, Logbook entries, e\-sig capture) using Playwright or Cypress * Write Kafka consumer/producer test harnesses to validate event sourcing correctness and message ordering guarantees * Implement TimescaleDB data validation scripts to verify time\-series ingestion integrity and continuous aggregate accuracy * Integrate all automation suites into GitHub Actions / Jenkins CI pipelines with quality gates on PR merge Multi\-Tenant \& Isolation Testing * Design and execute tenant isolation test scenarios: verify that no data, configuration, or AI model bleed occurs across tenant boundaries * Test per\-tenant KMS key segregation
