What you'll do

In a few words...

Abarca is igniting a revolution in healthcare. We built our company on the belief that with smarter technology we are redefining pharmacy benefits, but this is just the beginning...

Software Development at Abarca Health houses a truly innovative team: software, systems, architecture, and automation engineers! They design, build, code, test and automate it? Then we got them on this team! Software Engineering manages the development of our suite of tech products to ensure all pharmacy benefit management services are up to date and bringing the best quality of service our clients need.

As a Software Automation Engineer you'll be responsible to collaborate with Software Engineers, Software Quality Engineers, and Business System Analysts (BSA) in devising appropriate code-based testing approaches and test settings for assuring the utmost quality of our systems from a coding standpoint. As a company that heavily relies on cutting-edge IT operations to serve its members, you will become a unique individual with a strong team mentality and a genuine passion for both software development and Quality Engineering. You'll work hands-on with developers in order review their code via the development of Unit Test Cases that challenge the Software's Functional Requirements, which will control the quality of the code development and assure adherence to coding standards. At the same time, you will also work diligently with Quality Engineers to develop automation test cases to automatize all testing scenarios created by our Quality Engineers on our software's User Interface to assure that regression testing efforts are completed.

The fundamentals for the job...

• Design, develop, maintain and troubleshoot software applications and software testing tools.
• Work closely with Agile Team members (Business System Analysts, Software Engineers, Software Quality Engineers, Product Analysts and more of your Software Automation peers).
• Write out User Interface (UI) software automation test cases based on manual test case scenarios that are like a work of art but also meet the expected business requirements and functional specifications for regression tests over future software iterations.
• Maintain Page Object Models (POMs) so that every single new page that is modified or created for the first time maintains every single element on stock for your automation tests.
• Write out Unit Test Cases within the software's code so that the code is also embedded with software functional specifications.
• Work in conjunction with the Quality Engineering team so that their Test Cases are automated and that automation code elements are ready for them so that those test cases can be delivered.
• Execute automated test cases to challenge functional, integration, and regression test cases.
• Become an expert in all our software platforms, so that they call you the Automation know-it-all.
• Recommend possible improvements over both the code and functional levels of the applications.
• Simulate stress tests that are also automated over a series of test cases to maintain the overall performance health of the system in place.
• When it comes to researching techniques and tools related to software test automation, you always collaborate.
• Research and resolve issues, or at least offer possible solutions.
• Act as and liaison between technical team members and business stakeholders/end users.
• Coaching is a key part of every single team, and as Software Automation Engineer II, you will bring the best in others as a platform contributor and team coach.
