What is a QA Engineer at Flatiron Health?
At Flatiron Health, a QA Engineer plays a critical role in a mission-driven company dedicated to helping cancer healthcare providers and researchers learn from the experience of every patient. Unlike traditional e-commerce or consumer-facing software environments, the systems you will test directly impact clinical decision-making, oncology data curation, and cancer research. A bug or data discrepancy in this domain does not just mean a broken UI button; it could mean inaccurate clinical data pipelines or delayed research insights.
As a QA Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring the absolute reliability, safety, and accuracy of Flatiron Health products, such as their flagship Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform OncoEMR, clinical trial matching platforms, and massive real-world evidence (RWE) data pipelines. You will work closely with cross-functional teams of software engineers, product managers, and oncology data specialists to design comprehensive testing strategies, build robust automated test suites, and validate complex data schemas.
This role requires a unique blend of deep technical coding skills, database proficiency, and analytical problem-solving. Flatiron Health values engineers who do not just execute test scripts but who proactively seek to understand the clinical and scientific context of the software they are verifying. This makes the position both highly challenging and immensely rewarding for engineers who want their technical work to have a direct, positive impact on human lives.
