Lead Quality Assurance Engineer - Chennai - Amura Health

Description

Amura's Vision

We believe that the most under-appreciated route to releasing untapped human potential is to build a healthier body, and through it, a better brain. This allows us to do more of everything that is important to each one of us. Billions of healthier brains, sitting in healthier bodies, can take up more complex problems that defy solutions today, including many existential threats, and solve them in just a few decades.

Billions of healthier brains will make the world richer beyond what we can imagine today. The surplus wealth, combined with better human capabilities, will lead to a new renaissance, giving us a richer and more beautiful culture. These healthier brains will be equipped with deeper intellect, be less acrimonious, more magnanimous, and have a kinder outlook on the world — resulting in a world that is better than any previous time.

We find this vision of the future exhilarating. Our hopes and dreams are to create this future as quickly as possible and ensure that it is widely distributed and optimized to maximize all forms of human excellence.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Lead Quality Assurance Engineer (QAE) to own the quality charter across our full-stack HealthTech platform, covering web, mobile, and backend systems. You will design and implement the overall QA strategy, ensure automation-first delivery, and drive end-to-end release reliability. This role demands hands-on technical leadership and the ability to scale QA processes in a dynamic, fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the QA roadmap and test strategy across all platform layers (UI, API, database, integrations).
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to align testing priorities with product and compliance requirements.
• Establish and track key QA metrics — defect density, test coverage, automation ratio, release readiness, and production stability.
• Architect and maintain robust frameworks for unit, integration, regression, and performance testing.
• Design scalable test environments that simulate real-world data, user journeys, and device configurations.
• Drive an automation-first culture using frameworks such as Cypress, Selenium, Appium, RestAssured, Playwright, or Postman.
• Integrate automation pipelines with CI/CD systems (GitLab, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline) for seamless deployment verification.
• Oversee performance, load, and scalability testing using tools like JMeter, k6, or Gatling.
• Ensure compliance with healthcare standards such as HIPAA, ISO 13485, and GDPR.
• Lead and mentor QA and Automation Engineers, ensuring skill development and delivery excellence.
• Partner with Product Managers and Engineering Leads for sprint planning, release readiness, and RCA reviews.
• Promote continuous improvement through dashboards, automation frameworks, and test management best practices.

Requirements

• 8 to12 years of overall experience in QA, with at least 3+ years in a QA leadership role.
• Proven expertise in designing and managing automation frameworks for web, mobile, and backend systems.
• Hands-on experience with Cypress, Selenium, Appium, Postman, JMeter, Vitest, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of REST APIs, SQL/NoSQL databases, and cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and test environment orchestration.
• Deep knowledge of Agile/Scrum processes and test management tools (JIRA, TestRail, Confluence).
• Excellent debugging, analytical, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience in HealthTech, SaaS, or large-scale platform environments.
• Exposure to regulatory testing for healthcare and data protection.
• Experience building automated dashboards or QA analytics for release health monitoring.
• Contributions to open-source QA frameworks or automation tools.
