The position requires deep expertise in healthcare application testing, including FHIR, SMART on FHIR, HL7, Smile CDR, AWS HealthLake, REST APIs, and cloud-native AWS services, ensuring all platform enhancements meet rigorous functional, technical, and security standards prior to production deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain PHSD test strategy, test plans, schedules, and quality assurance approaches.
• Lead and coordinate functional, system integration, API, interoperability, regression, performance, accessibility, security, and user acceptance testing.
• Design, develop, and execute automated UI regression suites using Playwright.
• Create and maintain Postman and vREST collections for REST and FHIR APIs and healthcare integration workflows.
• Validate Smile CDR functionality including FHIR repositories, resource validation, search operations, terminology services, and interoperability workflows.
• Test AWS HealthLake integrations involving data ingestion, synchronization, retrieval, and FHIR resource processing.
• Validate provider directory data management workflows and real-time synchronization with Master Data Management and Provider Registry systems.
• Validate OpenSearch provider directory search functionality, including filtering, ranking, relevance, and FHIR search parameters.
• Test SMART on FHIR authentication, OAuth2/OIDC authorization, JWT processing, and role-based access control.
• Test integrations with hospital information systems such as Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), MEDITECH, and other provincial digital health systems.
• Coordinate defect triage, track testing progress, quality metrics, automation coverage, and release readiness reporting.
• Support production implementation, warranty validation, post-production verification, and operational readiness activities.
• Prepare comprehensive testing documentation, knowledge transfer materials, and operational testing procedures.

Required Skills & Certifications:

• Senior test leadership experience in large-scale healthcare or digital transformation projects.
• Expertise in developing test strategies, plans, cases, traceability matrices, execution reports, defect reports, and release readiness assessments.
• Hands-on functional testing experience with Java/Spring Boot applications, React applications, REST APIs, and database-driven systems.
• Proficiency in automated UI testing with Playwright, including regression and CI/CD integration.
• API testing expertise using Postman and vREST, including REST and FHIR APIs, assertions, and automated regression testing.
• Extensive knowledge of healthcare interoperability standards and technologies including FHIR R4/R4B, HL7 v2, SMART on FHIR, OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, and RESTful healthcare APIs.
• Experience validating Smile CDR functionality, including FHIR repositories, search operations, terminology services, and interoperability workflows.
• Testing experience with AWS HealthLake integrations and healthcare data synchronization.
• Validation of provider directory search using OpenSearch and FHIR search parameters.
• Experience testing integrations with Provider Registry, Master Data Management platforms, hospital information systems, and provincial digital health systems.
• Strong skills in defect management, stakeholder communication, documentation, and knowledge transfer.

Preferred Skills & Certifications:

• Experience testing Smile CDR production implementations.
• Experience with AWS HealthLake implementations.
• Knowledge of validating FHIR Implementation Guides, terminology services, and interoperability conformance.
• Experience testing OpenSearch implementations for provider and healthcare service discovery.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures using EventBridge, SNS, SQS, and FHIR event notifications.

Special Considerations:

• Must coordinate across multiple teams including development, architecture, interoperability, operations, and business stakeholders.
• Role requires thorough documentation, defect triage, and quality reporting.
• Hybrid work location with onsite presence as needed.
• Work involves strict adherence to healthcare privacy, security, and operational standards.

Scheduling:

• Standard work schedule with flexibility for coordination across teams and production support activities.
• May require involvement in production implementation and post-production validation phases.
