## Job description

Our mission is simple but ambitious: to use AI to fix the broken economics and lost humanity of care. If you want to move fast and help build the future of healthcare with heart, you belong at Arya.

## About the Role

Arya is looking for a strategic and hands-on Lead QA Engineer to build and lead our quality function as we scale our AI-powered automation platform. This is not just about executing tests — it’s about defining the quality bar for the company. You will own QA strategy end-to-end: setting standards, designing scalable automation frameworks, embedding quality early in the product lifecycle, and ensuring our platform is reliable, secure, and trusted by healthcare operators who depend on it daily. This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who can think systemically, operate at startup speed, and build a modern QA function from the ground up.

## What You’ll Do

- Ensure data validation and integrity across complex workflows

Quality Operations

- Own the defect lifecycle and root-cause analysis processes
- Define release readiness criteria and sign-off standards
- Track and report quality metrics (test coverage, defect trends, release stability, etc.)
- Proactively identify system risks and edge cases before production

## What We’re Looking For

- 6+ years of experience in QA / Software Testing
- 2+ years leading QA initiatives, projects, or teams
- Proven experience building QA processes in startup or high-growth environments
- Deep understanding of test strategy, automation architecture, and CI/CD integration
- Hands-on experience with tools like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or similar
- Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, JavaScript, or similar)
- Experience testing APIs (REST, GraphQL) and validating data with SQL
- Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter, or similar)
- Strong analytical thinking and systems mindset
- Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills

Bonus:

- Experience in healthcare technology
- Experience testing AI-driven or data-intensive platforms
- Experience implementing QA in regulated or compliance-heavy environments

What to Expect in the First 15–30–60 Days By Day 15

- You’ve audited our current QA processes, tooling, and gaps

By Day 30

- You’ve implemented measurable improvements to test coverage
