• Design, automate, execute, and maintain API tests for publishers, subscription management, notification delivery, event retrieval, queue-based processing, downstream actions, and failure-recovery workflows.
  
• Use Postman, NextGen API testing tools, and ngrok-hosted endpoints to validate REST APIs, external callbacks, rest-hook delivery, request and response payloads, headers, authentication, timeouts, and error handling.
  
• Validate FHIR Subscription, SubscriptionTopic, notification Bundles, filters, lifecycle and status transitions, resource references, search and event retrieval, conformance, and positive and negative API scenarios.
  
• Test HL7 v2 interfaces and NextGen Connect channels, including message construction, parsing, transformation, routing, acknowledgements, invalid messages, interface errors, recovery, and integration with FHIR and application workflows.
  
• Test React single-page applications across supported browsers and user workflows, including functional behaviour, API integration, state handling, error messaging, accessibility, security-related behaviour, and regression coverage.
  
• Coordinate end-to-end testing across healthcare applications, Ontario digital health assets, eReferral workflows, publishers, Enterprise Pub/Sub, subscribers, and downstream systems.
  
• Validate asynchronous reliability and operational scenarios, including event correlation, ordering where required, concurrency, idempotency, retries, duplicate delivery, dead-letter handling, replay, reconciliation, outage recovery, and monitoring.
  
• Coordinate test environments, endpoint configuration, connectivity, certificates, test accounts, test data, privacy-safe data handling, stubs, simulators, and dependencies across participating teams and vendors.
  
• Lead defect triage, root-cause collaboration, retesting, regression selection, quality metrics, daily status reporting, risk escalation, and evidence-based assessment of residual risk.
  
• Prepare test completion reports and release recommendations, support business acceptance and production validation, confirm operational readiness, and provide testing knowledge transfer to The Agency teams.
  

Desired Skills:

• Experience testing FHIR R4 or R4B resources and APIs, including Subscription, SubscriptionTopic, event notification Bundles, validation profiles, terminology, and conformance requirements.
  
• Experience with Ontario digital health services, healthcare assets, EMR or HIS integration, clinical workflows, eReferral applications, and multi-organization testing.
  
• Experience with NextGen Connect administration and API capabilities, Postman collections, NextGen API testing tools, ngrok, service virtualization, stubs, and test-data utilities.
  
• Experience integrating automated API and user-interface tests into build and deployment pipelines, with versioned test assets, repeatable execution, reporting, and regression gates.
  
• Experience testing cloud-based event services, queues, observability, security controls, performance, resilience, failure recovery, and production support scenarios.
