• Develop, maintain, and execute automated test cases to support dual-run claims validation for large-scale healthcare claims processing environments.
• Design and implement automated test scripts to compare claim outputs between legacy systems and Facets processing engines.
• Build, organize, and optimize regression test suites to ensure full end-to-end test coverage across high-volume workloads.
• Support performance and load testing efforts to validate automation coverage for a throughput requirement exceeding 4 million claims per day.
• Analyze automated test results, identify variances, and document defects with clear, actionable detail.
• Contribute daily to the variance dashboard, including validation of anomalies, trend analysis, and defect triage.
• Collaborate with development, architecture, and operations teams to validate integration points between legacy platforms and modernized systems.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, backlog refinement, and sprint planning to ensure test automation aligns with evolving system requirements.
• Support continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) automation efforts, ensuring all automated tests run reliably within delivery pipelines.
• Ensure test automation best practices, coding standards, and quality gates are consistently applied across the project.
• Must be eligible to obtain Public Trust clearance.

Education & Experience: 5 years of relevant experience with a BS/BA degree, 3 years with an MS/MA, or 0 years with a PhD. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.

Technical Skills:

• Demonstrated experience designing and developing automated tests for large-scale enterprise systems.
• Hands-on experience with modern test automation frameworks and tools (e.g., Selenium, Java/Python automation frameworks, Postman, REST-Assured, Cucumber/Gherkin, TestNG, JUnit).
• Experience validating data-intensive or batch-driven systems, preferably in claims processing or similarly high-volume transactional domains.
• Proven ability to analyze test failures, isolate root causes, and document defects in enterprise defect tracking tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps).
• Experience testing APIs, services, and data transformations across complex system integrations.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps Pipelines.
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience testing within Facets or other major healthcare payer claim processing platforms.
• Familiarity with healthcare domain standards, CMS environments, or HIPAA regulatory requirements.
• Experience supporting performance, load, or volume testing at enterprise scale.
• Proficiency with SQL for validation of backend processes and claims data sets.
• Hands-on experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-based test automation pipelines.
