Automation Engineer

This role focuses on designing, building, and maintaining Python-based automation frameworks and scripts for healthcare claims processing. It involves integrating with Java-based systems and legacy Mainframe environments, creating automated tests, supporting CI/CD pipelines, and collaborating with various technical teams. The role requires experience with Python, automation tools, Mainframe environments, and healthcare claims workflows.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design, build, and maintain scalable Python-based automation frameworks and scripts from the ground up to support healthcare claims processing operations.
  2. Develop automation solutions that integrate with both Java-based distributed applications, including APIs and microservices, and legacy Mainframe environments through tools such as 3270 emulators and batch processing.
  3. Create automated tests and operational workflows for complex claims processes, helping ensure accuracy in adjudication, payment integrity, and compliance.
  4. Embed test automation into sprint execution by partnering with delivery teams to support in-sprint validation and CI/CD pipeline readiness.
  5. Evaluate, select, and implement Python libraries, testing tools, and supporting frameworks to expand coverage and reduce manual effort.
