We’re now part of Optum and the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, backed by the resources of a global health organization working to help people live healthier lives and to help make the health system work better for everyone. Are you looking for a way to create next-level results with a human-level approach?

Requirements

divvyDOSE is seeking an individual who is passionate about building and releasing quality software with confidence. In this role, you will develop tools for automated and manual testing, build release infrastructure (CI / CD pipelines), and advocate for practices that make it easier for other engineers to build quality software. This role requires an ability to meet with stakeholders in order to understand complex use-cases and other product requirements, then collaborate with engineering teams to ensure that release criteria is met for deployment. Furthermore, this individual will be responsible for maintaining tools used to deploy changes and automatically roll back when necessary.

We believe strongly in empowering our engineering teams to test their own software and understand its release mechanisms, and you should as well. In addition to hands-on responsibilities, we are looking for an individual who is interested in evolving QA and release-engineering competencies within the organization; being able to identify gaps in existing talent pools and recommend new growth opportunities, as well as your ability to train and mentor peers, are just as important as your ability to contribute code directly.

  • Lead efforts to ensure that use-cases and technical acceptance criteria are clearly defined and that comprehensive test plans exist for these requirements.
  • Collect, analyze, and report on quality metrics to drive continuous improvement of our platform.
  • Be a servant leader: you will be empowered to define standard practices and your stakeholders will be the engineering teams who use them.
