In your role, you will work with the Evolent Health Services Engineering group to develop and maintain bleeding edge designs for integrated web applications and Big Data processing of healthcare data. We are looking for modern testers and engineers with the right stuff, from associate level to senior level and above. Successful candidates will be self-driven, curious, and ready to challenge their peers. A strong background in computer science and related math is considered a positive. **What will make you an ideal modern tester?** Ability to define heuristic testing techniques for the Evolent products and interconnected sub-systems to reduce risk and increase the confidence of clients and stake holders. Enact quality as a habit to form, not a task to perform. Tactical shrewdness to identify and introduce smart techniques to work closely with developers and find issues early in the process. Relentlessly improve testing activities and automate as and when the opportunity and return on automation is beneficial. An eye for seeing past the obvious and mundane to evolve and improve the business. Practice and preach the concept of Discovering the unexpected is more important than confirming the known. Investigate the product and system as a basic user, power user, competitor (find missing functionalities/features) and product crasher/rogue (break the product). Less testing is a sin and more testing is a crime. Optimize the approach by creating fewer test cases with more product coverage and diminish defect leakage over time. Use the mantra all code is guilty until proven innocent to motivate Test Driven Development (TDD), lean thinking and good programming practices. Use different problem-solving techniques (eg 5 Whys, Ishikawa diagram etc.) to conduct root cause analysis of systemic issues and identify, prioritize and mitigate system bottlenecks, with the end goal of overall system optimization. Understand the importance of solving the business problem to accelerate the product delivery with approaches like test automation, continuous integration, delivery and deployment. Aptitude and attitude of thinking Quality is not a separate phase, its a culture. Be ready and willing to educate team members on quality standards and help them to apply quality gates right from requirements to delivery of the intended solution. Challenge status-quo, be a leader of change, and come up with new approaches and methodologies to propose to the team, implement and get their constructive feedback. Communicate in a receptive manner, refine based on feedback **Things You Could Be Doing:** + **Build Next Generation Healthcare data processing ** Evolent is committed to breaking the mold by developing a solution to acquire, parse, and integrate healthcare data faster than anything on the market today.
