About The Position

The Quality Development Rotational Program is a rotational experience for soon-to-be graduates (BS, MS or PhD) who are interested in the delivery of high-assurance software through advanced testing, validation, and system-level analysis. QDP engineers partner with development teams across the company to implement test automation, build continuous integration (CI) pipelines, and identify root causes of bugs and regressions in complex, distributed systems. We focus on software quality at scale—from performance profiling to security testing—to ensure our platforms are robust, reliable, and ready for real-world use. Program Highlights: 3-week onboarding and training: Learn core technologies, debugging techniques, and best practices. Two 6-week team rotations: Gain hands-on experience with different tools, workflows, and testing strategies across our product teams (HealthShare, IntelliCare, Data Platforms). Mentorship and support: Work closely with experienced engineers for guidance and career development. Team placement: After Successful completion of the program participants who have met InterSystems Expectations during their rotations will transition to their long-term role with a team based on interest, fit, and business needs. Why Join Us? Cross-Team Experience: Gain exposure to interoperability platforms, data infrastructure, and clinical systems. Supportive Mentorship: Learn from seasoned engineers with insight into best practices and career planning. Career Path: Transition into a full-time role with growth opportunities in test automation, performance engineering, or security testing.
