Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Product Operations and QA Specialist role stands out in SaaS because it sits at the intersection of release quality and real customer signal. In an AI-driven healthcare software context, reliability is part of the product itself, and the work described connects testing discipline with the operational reality of what happens after features ship, not just before.
For a SaaS career, the long-term value is in learning how mature product teams translate support noise into actionable priorities and how go or no-go decisions get made under ambiguity. Owning a “quality lifecycle” across a product area builds fluency in risk-based testing, incident triage, and cross-functional communication patterns that recur across subscription businesses where retention depends on trust and uptime.
This is best suited to someone who enjoys structured problem solving, can make crisp calls on severity and impact, and is comfortable being the connective tissue between support, product, and engineering. It also fits professionals who want their domain experience in clinical settings to shape how software is validated and improved, particularly in a remote environment where written clarity and self-direction matter.

We’re building on this momentum to redefine what’s possible in healthcare. We’re looking for exceptional people to help us accelerate that reality.
About the Role
We're looking for a Product Operations & QA Specialist to help us ship reliable, high-quality healthcare software. This is a role for someone who thinks like an owner: you'll be the person who catches what others miss, turns messy support signals into clear action, and makes sure releases go out only when they're truly ready.
You'll own the full quality lifecycle for one or more product areas: from building smart regression suites to triaging real-world issues from the front lines of support. It's a role that blends rigor with judgment: you'll need to know when a bug is a blocker and when it's noise, and you'll need to communicate that distinction clearly to PMs, engineers, and stakeholders who are counting on your read.
If you've worked in a hospital or clinic and know what's actually at stake when healthcare software breaks, and you want to bring that firsthand perspective into how a product gets tested, supported, and improved, we'd love to talk.
What You'll Do
Own end-to-end testing and support for one or more product areas
Design, maintain and improve testing plans, regression suites, and QA checklists.
Help define go/no-go criteria for releases in their product area, in partnership with PM/TPM/eng.
