Senior Qa Engineer - Us Remote

Role Overview

PerfectServe is seeking a Senior QA Engineer to ensure the quality, reliability, and safety of PerfectServe’s products through rigorous manual and automated testing. As a senior individual contributor, you will own complex work end-to-end, raise the quality bar, and mentor those around you.

The QA team is 100% manual today. This hire will build the test automation capability from the ground up and, over time, will be the sole QA engineer on the team, owning quality independently while working closely with developers.

In a healthcare SaaS environment where reliability and security affect patient care, this role is held to a high standard. Success means consistently demonstrating the responsibilities below, combining technical depth with collaboration, communication, and sound judgment, rather than excelling in any one area alone.
