Job Description

Verily, an Alphabet company, lives at the intersection of technology, data science and healthcare. Our mission is to make the world’s health data useful so that people enjoy longer and healthier lives.

Our team combines expertise in healthcare, data science and technology to improve the health and well-being of our communities. We are developing the infrastructure and solutions to harness the profusion of health information for good. Our data-driven solutions span three primary areas: research, care and innovation. Programs include Project Baseline - our research initiative to increase participation and evidence generation in clinical research; Onduo - our personalized virtual care platform, which includes connected tools, lifestyle coaching and clinical support; and Debug - our effort to reduce the threat of mosquito-borne diseases by combining machine learning with sterile insect technique. We’re also actively working to combat the spread of COVID-19 through new programs like Healthy at Work.

DESCRIPTION

As a Software System Test Engineer at Verily, you will use your strong technical background to define test strategies, organize testing processes, and optimize system level testing through creative and comprehensive test methods you bring to the table and test automation that you’ll write. You will be driving test programs and ultimately play a key role in ensuring that product quality keeps our users safe and delighted. You will use your knowledge of testing and testability to not only test our products at the system level, but also to influence better software design, drive product excellence adoption into engineering practice, activate bug prevention strategies, promote testability, improve accessibility, and protect the privacy and security of our users.

This role is part of the larger Health at Home effort at Verily, which is working to improve the way healthcare is delivered to patients and their loved ones. It brings together consumer electronics, advanced sensing, cloud services, and compelling mobile apps to create a better pediatric care journey for our users. You will be working with engineers, UX designers, product and program managers to ensure we are delivering a premium experience that helps caregivers track, manage, and gain insights into their infant’s everyday routines. Your passion for ensuring the delivery of high quality, safe, and highly usable products into the hands of our users will be an essential part of our mission to empower families in leading healthier, happier lives.
