Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~30% per draw at Level II). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.
Lottery odds assume a STEM candidate.
Personalize to your clock →H-1B wage level
the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$19,392 more — $119,392 — moves this role to Level IV and 4 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $119,392 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role
- For further information, please review the Know Your Rights notice from the Department of Labor.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain automated tests for web UI, REST APIs and databases, and hold test code to the same standards as production code.
- Analyze test results and triage failures quickly: separate real product defects from environment, data, and test-harness issues, identify root cause, and drive resolution with clear, reproducible bug reports.
- Maintain traceability from requirements and specifications through test cases to results, especially for regulated components.
- We continually strive to deliver quality results to our patients as quickly as possible.
- As a Senior QA Engineer, you will embed with one or more Agile Scrum teams to validate and continuously improve our in-house developed software.
- This is a hands-on engineering role: you will design and maintain UI, API, and data-validation test frameworks in Java and Python, wire them into CI/CD so they run unattended against every build.
Requirements
- Experience running tests in CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI or similar), with reporting such as Allure.
- Experience with performance and load testing using tools such as JMeter, k6, or Gatling.
- Working knowledge of HIPAA, HL7 and FHIR.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Experience with AWS (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, S3) or Azure, and with Docker.
- Experience in a regulated environment such as a CLIA/CAP lab, FDA, SOX.
- You will gain experience with modern test tooling, cloud-native delivery, and AI-assisted testing.
- Knowledge of genetic testing, molecular biology, or other scientific disciplines is a strong plus but is not required.
- Solid SQL (e.g., MySQL) and a careful approach to test data when it's regulated.
- Preferred
- ISTQB/ASTQB certification.
Nice to have
- Participate with your teams in Agile Scrum ceremonies, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and retrospectives
- represent quality and testability from the start of a story, not at the end of the sprint.
- Test for HIPAA and SOX compliance, including how PHI is handled, who can access it and what gets logged, and keep tests traceable to requirements.
- Participate in risk assessments, validation processes, and release readiness reviews
- provide a clear, evidence-based go/no-go quality recommendation.
- Mentor junior QA engineers through pairing and code review, and help internal users troubleshoot when needed.
- 8+ years in software QA, including 5+ years writing test automation.
- Strong programming ability in at least one language used for automation, Java and/or Python preferred
Compensation
- Chicago/National: $100,000-$135,000
- SF/NY: $115,00-$150,000
Benefits
- Own the regression suites for your applications: grow coverage, fix or remove flaky tests, and keep them running in CI/CD after every deployment and nightly.
- Validate scheduled night-time and off-hours deployments, and confirm post-deployment health in lower and production environments.
- Apply AI-assisted tooling responsibly to accelerate test authoring, failure triage, and coverage analysis, while remaining accountable for the correctness of every test that ships.
- This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in a positive and creative work environment that offers great benefits and opportunities for growth.
Equal opportunity
- This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws.
