Our 115,000 colleagues serve people in more than 160 countries.

Design, code, and maintain automation scripts and frameworks using Python (or another modern programming language). Work with automation tools such as Appium, Selenium, and Robot. Spend the majority of your day writing code and building scalable automation solutions. Build automated frameworks for unit, integration, UI, and mobile testing. Perform exploratory testing only as needed to inform automation. Create test datasets and execute automated test suites to ensure high‑quality releases. Adapt automation frameworks to meet regulatory and product‑specific requirements in the medical industry. Continuously improve automation frameworks and test suites. Identify and implement opportunities to replace manual testing with automation. Work closely with developers and QA team members to integrate automation into the development lifecycle.
