Responsibilities:

• Lead the design of test strategy, plans, scenarios, scripts, or procedures for testing.
  


• Lead end-to-end API and integration testing efforts between core enterprise systems, Hospital Information Systems (HIS), and external vendors.
  


• Validate FHIR resources and API payloads against implementation guides and architectural specifications hosted on platforms like Simplifier.
  


• Design, build, and maintain robust automated test suites using Selenium and Playwright to ensure comprehensive UI and integration layer coverage.
  


• Configure and execute complex API tests using Postman and vRest to ensure secure, compliant, and accurate health data exchange.
  


• Coordinate testing activities involving AWS cloud messaging services (AWS Pinpoint, AWS End User Messaging) to rigorously validate notification and communication workflows.
  


• Act as the primary testing liaison for integration partners, coordinating test data creation, environment readiness, and cross-system troubleshooting (e.g., EPIC and other HIS platforms).
  

Desired Skills:

• Experience with ONC Inferno or AEGIS Touchstone: Familiarity with these specialized testing frameworks used specifically for validating HL7 FHIR implementations and SMART on FHIR compliance against implementation guides.
  


• Synthetic Health Data Generation: Experience using tools like Synthea to programmatically generate realistic, diverse, and non-identifiable synthetic patient data and clinical histories to safely populate test environments without exposing PHI.
  


• FHIR Bulk Data Access Testing: Experience testing high-volume data extraction APIs (e.g., FHIR $export operations using NDJSON), including the ability to test rate-limiting, queuing, and throttling behaviors.
  


• Chaos Engineering / Cloud Resiliency Testing: Familiarity with using tools like AWS Fault Injection Simulator (FIS) to intentionally inject faults (like database throttling or network latency) to test the resiliency of cloud healthcare integrations.
  


• Advanced Identity & Security Mocking: Deep experience mocking OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect workflows, specifically crafting and spoofing JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to execute negative security testing on SMART on FHIR granular scopes.
  


• Accessibility (a11y) Automation: Experience integrating accessibility testing engines (like axe-core) directly into Playwright or Selenium test suites to ensure UI components meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance in an automated pipeline.
  


• Contract Testing: Experience with consumer-driven contract testing tools (like Pact) to catch API integration issues between complex microservices before deploying to a shared environment.
  

Required Skills:

• Direct experience testing and certifying integrations with major Hospital Information Systems (HIS), with a strong preference for EPIC integration experience.
  


• Familiarity with identity, security, and access management within healthcare, particularly SMART on FHIR authorization and authentication flows.
  


• Knowledge of large-scale healthcare interoperability frameworks, provincial health services, or digital health asset directories.
