What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automation Testing Engineer position at Transform9?
Calling your doctor shouldn't be harder than seeing your doctor. But at most practices, patients wait on hold, front-office staff drown in ring queues, and revenue walks out the door with every missed call.
Transform9 builds AI agents that answer every call for physician practices — scheduling appointments, routing callers, and resolving routine requests in seconds, around the clock. Our agents integrate directly with each practice's EHR, practice management, and phone systems, and adapt to how their front office actually works.
Our agents have handled millions of patient calls for thousands of providers, cut average hold times by 90%, and decreased call abandonment by 80%. We're headquartered in Birmingham, AL, and growing fast.
About the role
At Transform9, a broken call flow means a patient can't reach their doctor. Quality isn't just a process concern — it's a patient safety concern. As a senior automation testing engineer, you'll own the test strategy and automation infrastructure for a real-time voice AI platform, ensuring that every agent behavior, integration point, and call flow performs exactly as expected before it ever reaches a live patient.
What you'll do
- Design, build, and maintain the automated test infrastructure for Transform9's voice AI platform — unit, integration, end-to-end, and load/performance testing
- Develop test frameworks and tooling that enable the broader engineering team to write and run reliable tests efficiently
- Define and enforce quality standards and testing best practices across engineering teams
- Build simulation and regression frameworks for real-time voice and conversational AI scenarios
- Partner with platform, provisioning, and integrations teams to ensure test coverage across all system boundaries
- Own test environments and CI/CD pipeline integration for automated test execution
- Investigate and triage production quality issues; drive root cause analysis and prevention
- Develop testing approaches that satisfy HIPAA and healthcare compliance requirements
