Title: Conversa Sr. Quality Assurance Engineer

Location: Remote

Company Description

Amwell is a leading telehealth platform in the United States and globally, connecting and enabling providers, insurers, patients, and innovators to deliver greater access to more affordable, higher quality care. Amwell believes that digital care delivery will transform healthcare. We offer a single, comprehensive platform to support all telehealth needs from urgent to acute and post-acute care, as well as chronic care management and healthy living. With over a decade of experience, Amwell powers telehealth solutions for over 150 health systems comprised of 2,000 hospitals and 55 health plan partners with over 36,000 employers, covering over 80 million lives.

Conversa Health is helping to fundamentally transform healthcare from reactive to proactive by partnering with health systems and other healthcare organizations who use our Automated Virtual Care & Triage platform to improve patient care and health. We have a library of programs – ranging from chronic care management to post-acute, perioperative, pre and post procedure, cancer, new parents, etc.- that guide patients on evidence-based pathways to better health outcomes. The magic that makes this work are the automated, personalized digital conversations ( chats ) that are designed to maximize engagement, collect valuable patient-generated health data (PGHD), analyze that data, and use it to drive positive behaviors/actions.

Brief Overview:

Quality in delivery and execution is at the heart of what we do. The stakes are even higher for platforms like Conversa, which directly support at-risk patients to support them towards healthier outcomes. In this role, you’ll be ensuring that our delivery practices have validation of quality as a primary goal both in evidence reporting as a consequence of development practices, but also through the implementation of automated quality checks that reduce manual efforts and halt releases based on lack of adherence to platform KPIs. We work in a highly regulated environment, where there is a lot of inherent skepticism and traditional bias on the ability to remove the human element from proving safety around interacting with patients and shaping their personal health journey we want to change that with your help.

Measures of Success

  • Act as a quality ‘spirit guide’ to your peers and organization at large
  • Show a constant focus on automation and evidence-based metrics that prove quality of release in an unassailable manner
  • You strive to work yourself (and your team by extension) out of manual tasks
  • Team and partners see you as a trusted confidante to improve the organization and platform overall

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in software test planning and execution
