You will spend most of your time writing code, and using AI-assisted development tools to write code, that automatically tests our Salesforce configurations and integrations. No prior validation or regulatory experience is required: Sequel will provide structured training, mentorship from senior validation and engineering staff, and ongoing support as you learn Computer System Validation (CSV), Computer Software Assurance (CSA), and FDA requirements. The ideal candidate is curious, detail-oriented, comfortable learning new technologies quickly, and excited to build automated tests that help ensure our systems are safe, reliable, and compliant.\nJob Responsibilities and Essential Duties:\nUnder the guidance of senior validation and engineering team members, support day-to-day validation and test automation activities for Sequel's Enterprise Systems. This includes:\nDesign, write, and maintain automated test scripts and test suites that verify Salesforce configurations, workflows, and integrations against documented requirements.\nUse AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Cursor and similar) to accelerate test development, while reviewing, understanding, and taking ownership of all generated code.\nTranslate user and functional requirements into clear test cases, ensuring traceability and comprehensive test coverage.\nExecute automated and manual tests, analyze results, and document defects with clear, reproducible detail.\nIntegrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines so that testing runs consistently as part of the development and release process.\nLearn and apply Computer System Validation (CSV) and Computer Software Assurance (CSA) practices in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 13485, and Sequel's quality procedures.\nHelp prepare validation deliverables such as test plans, test protocols, traceability matrices, and summary reports under the direction of senior validation staff.\nSupport change management by helping assess the testing impact of configuration changes to validated systems.\nCollaborate with full-stack engineers, Salesforce developers, product managers, and Quality partners to understand requirements and resolve issues.\nParticipate in training, code reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions to build expertise in validation, test automation, and regulated software development.\nStay current with test automation tools, AI-assisted development practices, and evolving regulatory expectations (CSA, GxP, SaMD).\nMinimum Requirements (Education and Experience):\nEducation: BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Software Development, or a related field (recent graduates encouraged to apply).\nExperience: 0-2 years’ experience in software development or testing; relevant internships, co-ops, academic, capstone, or personal coding projects will be considered.\nRequired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:\nSolid programming fundamentals in at least one modern language such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, or C#.\nA software development mindset: enjoys writing code, solving problems, and automating repetitive work.\nFamiliarity with software testing concepts such as unit, integration, functional, and regression testing.\nFamiliarity with version control (Git/Gitlab) and basic development workflows.\nInterest in or exposure to AI-assisted coding tools and a willingness to use them responsibly.\nExposure to test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Jest, PyTest, or similar) is a plus.\nExposure to Salesforce (Apex, Lightning, Flows, or Trailhead coursework) is a plus but not required.\nBasic understanding of web technologies (HTML, CSS, REST APIs) and frontend/backend development principles.\nStrong attention to detail and the ability to document work clearly and accurately.\nGood written and verbal communication skills, and comfort asking questions and working in a team.\nEagerness to learn software validation, GxP, and FDA medical device regulations;
