Company mission
To supercharge clinicians with breakthrough generative AI technology.
Role
Who you are
- Technically strong: 7+ years in QA or software engineering with experience debugging across full stacks (Swift, TypeScript, Node, Postgres, cloud infra)
- Automation-first: Experience with Appium, XCTest, Playwright, or similar testing frameworks; skilled in scripting and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions)
- Builder mindset: You thrive in ambiguity and love standing up greenfield processes. You bias toward automation and high-impact tooling
- Strong communicator: You write crisp test plans and defect reports that are consumable by both engineers and clinicians
- Proactive partner: You run bug bash sessions, support launch readiness, and rally engineers toward long-term fixes—not just short-term patches
- System thinker: You trace issues across codebases and workflows, looking for root causes and upstream solutions
Desirable
- Prior success bootstrapping or scaling QA efforts in early-stage or high-growth tech environments
- Familiarity with healthcare workflows or regulated domains
- Experience using AI tools or generating tests programmatically
- Fluency in TypeScript, Swift, or relevant mobile/web development stacks
What the job involves
- As we scale our footprint across clinical settings, quality is mission-critical. We’re looking for a seasoned Quality Engineer to own end-to-end product reliability across mobile, web, EMR, and API surfaces
- You’ll introduce lightweight, high-leverage testing systems and feedback loops that allow us to ship faster with greater confidence—without compromising safety in clinical workflows
- Own and scale quality processes across the full Ambience product stack—mobile, desktop, browser extensions, EMR integrations, and APIs
- Drive test coverage by coordinating offshore QA efforts and building automation for happy-path regression suites (Appium, XCTest, Playwright, etc)
- Integrate quality into our CI pipeline, ensuring pre-release testing takes <15 minutes and gives engineers confidence to ship
- Cut defect rates through clear triage processes, root-cause postmortems, and proactive bug detection tooling
- Instrument quality metrics across coverage, test flakiness, defect density, and resolution time—shared transparently via dashboards
- Prototype high-leverage improvements across tooling and process to continually raise the bar on reliability and speed
Our take
Healthcare providers often find themselves overwhelmed by administrative duties like form filing and record coding, detracting from their primary focus on patient care. While these tasks are essential for billing and compliance, they are time-consuming and prone to errors.
In response to this challenge, Ambience Healthcare offers an AI-powered "operating system" designed specifically for healthcare organizations. Its suite of tools automates documentation, coding, and referrals, streamlining workflows for clinicians while enhancing accuracy.
With substantial funding, the company is expanding its business in the US and hopes top potentially include diagnosis in the future. While facing competition from startups like Corti and Babla, Ambience is well-positioned with strong investor backing and a clear focus.
