About the Opportunity
We are looking for QA / Validation Engineers to support testing and validation for a large-scale healthcare interface migration to Mirth Connect / NextGen Connect.
This role is focused on confirming that converted healthcare interfaces function correctly before cutover. The QA / Validation Engineer will develop and execute test plans, compare message output between legacy and converted interfaces, track defects, support UAT readiness, and maintain validation documentation.
This is a remote, U.S.-based contract opportunity expected to begin in early to mid-September 2026.
What You'll Do
- Develop and execute test plans for converted healthcare interfaces
- Validate HL7 message accuracy, structure, field-level output, routing, and transformation results
- Compare legacy interface output against converted Mirth Connect output to confirm expected behavior
- Identify, document, and track defects through resolution with engineering resources
- Support UAT coordination, readiness validation, and cutover preparation
- Validate X12 EDI transaction accuracy where applicable
- Maintain testing documentation, validation logs, defect notes, and audit-ready records
- Communicate testing status, open risks, blockers, and readiness concerns to delivery stakeholders
- Partner with engineers to clarify expected interface behavior and retest resolved issues
- Support regression testing and final validation activities prior to go-live
- Work in a fast-paced migration environment with multiple interfaces, deadlines, and testing priorities
What We're Looking For
- 3 or more years of QA, validation, or testing experience in healthcare IT, systems integration, or interface environments
- Familiarity with HL7 v2.x message structure and interface testing
- Experience validating interface engine output from tools such as Mirth Connect, Iguana, Rhapsody, Cloverleaf, or similar platforms
- Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline
- Ability to identify discrepancies in message output, mappings, transformations, and expected behavior
- Comfortable working in a migration, cutover, or go-live readiness environment
- Strong communication skills with the ability to report testing status and risks clearly
- Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced contract environment
Preferred Background
- Experience with Mirth Connect / NextGen Connect
- Experience with X12 EDI validation, including 837, 835, 270, and 271
- Background in healthcare revenue cycle, claims processing, payer systems, hospital systems, or healthcare IT
- Experience supporting large-scale interface migrations, UAT coordination, or production cutover validation
Contract Details
- Full-time contract role
- Remote, U.S.-based
- 12-week minimum engagement, with extension likely
- Anticipated start in early to mid-September 2026
- Multiple openings available
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a strong opportunity for a QA / Validation Engineer who understands healthcare interfaces and enjoys detailed testing work. The role offers exposure to a high-priority migration, HL7 validation, defect tracking, UAT support, and cutover readiness for a large healthcare integration environment.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
