The Center for Biomedical Informatics at the Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia Research Institute needs a Quality Engineer/Programmer to establish quality assurance as a core competency of our rapidly growing, entrepreneurial R&D software group. We’re looking for a unique individual who is interested in moving beyond typical QA roles and responsibilities, someone who is driven to create new methods for testing complex biomedical software. This need is driven by translation of our successful research applications into clinical practice.

Our group has a lot of elements that resemble a startup. So for those of you who might be "lurkers" who are a bit afraid of a startup, our group can provide you with some of the benefits you might be craving: small team, interesting projects, wide technical leeway (we like the right tool for the job), and a fun work environment.
Some of the things we've been using lately:
- Python/Django
- JavaScript (jQuery, Backbone, and many more)
- Scala
- Java (when we have to)
- PHP
- Objective-C (for mHealth iOS apps)
What we really need for our current position is someone who has solid QA experience and is looking for a leadership opportunity. You would be starting from scratch in a very fluid environment and you would set the direction for our QA efforts. Our work is in research, which has traditionally tolerated perpetual "beta" software, but we're trying to change that and build high quality "commercial grade" software. This includes not just traditional testing, but also defining repeatable processes for deployment, change control, system availability, etc...
I'm a little confused... You describe a small team, interesting projects, wide technical leeway but the specific job your advertising here is one in QA... that person won't actually be able to exercise 'from scratch' development other than a test bed for QA...?
We basically need a developer who can own QA, but we expect this person would also have opportunities to do from scratch development on some of our projects too. It's a hybrid role that requires just the right person, which is why we are reaching out here. What we are looking to avoid is someone who "puts up with" the QA because they are interested in the software development side of things. We would really like a QA person who also wants to dabble just a bit in regular "from scratch" development.
