The passionate people who make up Sidecar Health’s team come from all over, with backgrounds as tech leaders, policy makers, healthcare professionals, and beyond. And they all have one thing in common—the desire to fix a broken system and make it more personalized, affordable, and transparent. If you want to use your talents to transform healthcare in the United States, come join us! About the Role We're looking for a Senior SDET to join our Member Experience engineering team and own the quality engineering foundation for the products our members interact with every day—from finding care and understanding benefits to submitting claims and managing their health plans. This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role.

You'll work closely with our Director of Engineering for Member Experience and embed directly with product engineering squads to shift quality left across the entire development lifecycle. We're also building toward an AI-powered approach to quality engineering. You'll help us explore and implement AI-assisted testing—from intelligent test generation and self-healing test suites to building QA agents that can autonomously validate complex member workflows. If you're excited about the intersection of test automation and AI, this is the role. **MUST BE BASED IN CALIFORNIA** What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks across our member-facing applications (web and mobile), covering UI, API, and integration layers Develop and own a comprehensive regression suite that provides confidence for every release across
