About the Team:
Our Collector QA team is building new and evolving test automation capabilities for athenahealth customers. We work on solving complex quality and reliability problems for a broad set of stakeholders, including customers, internal technology-enabled services teams, and multiple BPO vendors. Much of this work involves designing and implementing automated test coverage that validates large volumes of claim resolution workflows, with a focus on improving reliability, coverage, and release confidence.
These systems support quality validation that may be performed manually by QA partners or automated to improve overall test coverage and productivity. That means our team builds automation that exercises UI flows, validates API contracts, verifies backend data integrity, and creates a more efficient and reliable testing experience across revenue cycle operations. The engineering work often involves balancing test stability, coverage, maintainability, and evolving business needs across distributed systems.
As a Senior Member of Technical Staff, this role contributes directly to the development of automated test frameworks, API and backend automation, and Claude/Codex-based testing agents that power these workflows. Success in this role requires solid test automation engineering fundamentals, experience working with service-based systems, and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.

About athenahealth
Our vision: In an industry that becomes more complex by the day, we stand for simplicity. We offer IT solutions and expert services that eliminate the daily hurdles preventing healthcare providers from focusing entirely on their patients — powered by our vision to create a thriving ecosystem that delivers accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all.
Our company culture: Our talented employees — or athenistas, as we call ourselves — spark the innovation and passion needed to accomplish our vision. We are a diverse group of dreamers and do-ers with unique knowledge, expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives. We unite as mission-driven problem-solvers with a deep desire to achieve our vision and make our time here count. Our award-winning culture is built around shared values of inclusiveness, accountability, and support.
Our DEI commitment: Our vision of accessible, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare for all requires addressing the inequities that stand in the way. That's one reason we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our business, from attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce to maintaining an inclusive environment for athenistas, our partners, customers and the communities where we work and serve.
What we can do for you:
Along with health and financial benefits, athenistas enjoy perks specific to each location, including commuter support, employee assistance programs, tuition assistance, employee resource groups, and collaborative workspaces — some offices even welcome dogs.
We also encourage a better work-life balance for athenistas with our flexibility. While we know in-office collaboration is critical to our vision, we recognize that not all work needs to be done within an office environment, full-time. With consistent communication and digital collaboration tools, athenahealth enables employees to find a balance that feels fulfilling and productive for each individual situation.
In addition to our traditional benefits and perks, we sponsor events throughout the year, including book clubs, external speakers, and hackathons.
