support release-readiness reporting and relevant New Product Development (NPD) phases.\nCommunicate technical strategy, quality status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.\n\nQualifications\n\nBachelor's or master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n12 or more years of overall IT/software experience, including 10 or more years leading automation or QA engineering teams and 5 or more years of direct people management.\nStrong hands-on experience in Java and exposure to Python, with proven ability to architect and scale automation suites spanning API test automation (primary) and UI test automation, built on shared, reusable test libraries.\nProficiency with RestAssured, TestNG, Playwright, and BDD-Cucumber, along with CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, Gitlab, Nexus, and Maven.\nExperience with AI-based test automation and applying AI-driven development lifecycle (AIDLC) practices to accelerate test design, execution, and maintenance.\nExposure to AWS cloud technologies and modern DevOps practices.\nExperience in healthcare, payer, or other regulated, data-intensive domains, including deidentified, HIPAA-compliant test data practices; US healthcare and EDI (e.g., X12/HIPAA transactions) knowledge is a plus\nFamiliarity with data analytics platforms or machine learning systems is a plus.\nStrong understanding of Agile methodology and quality management best practices.\n\nSkills And Competencies\n\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence a wide range of audiences and win support without formal reporting authority.\nStrong organizational skills and adaptive to rapidly changing priorities and workloads.\nComfortable partnering with remote and distributed team members across the US, India, and other geographies, within a matrixed organization.\nResults-oriented, empowering leader with strong emotional intelligence and a demonstrated ability to coach and develop talent.\nInnovative and self-motivated, with a strong sense of urgency and quality ownership.\nExhibits behaviours consistent with Cotiviti values: Customer Driven, Accountability, Open, Collaborative.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5142,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Revenue Cycle & Medical Billing","Health Data & Interoperability"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T23:09:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":94,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":10,"reasons":["seen:3","urgency","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T07:30:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16339,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":706},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=706"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcotiviti-senior-manager-qa-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3776437}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cotiviti.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3776437},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
