Quality Development Program

About InterSystems

InterSystems powers mission-critical applications in healthcare, financial services, government, and other industries. Our data platform, interoperability solutions, and analytics technologies help organizations solve complex problems and deliver meaningful outcomes. With a focus on innovation and client success, we support systems that make a real-world impact.

About the Role

The Quality Development Rotational Program is a rotational experience for soon-to-be graduates interested in the delivery of high-assurance software through advanced testing, validation, and system-level analysis. Program engineers partner with development teams to implement test automation, build continuous integration (CI) pipelines, and identify root causes of bugs and regressions in complex, distributed systems. The focus is on software quality at scale—from performance profiling to security testing—to ensure platforms are robust, reliable, and ready for real-world use.

Program Highlights

• 3-week onboarding and training: Learn core technologies, debugging techniques, and best practices.
• Two 6-week team rotations: Gain hands-on experience with different tools, workflows, and testing strategies across product teams (HealthShare, IntelliCare, Data Platforms).
• Mentorship and support: Work closely with experienced engineers for guidance and career development.
• Team placement: Upon successful completion and meeting expectations, participants transition to a long-term role based on interest, fit, and business needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with development teams to implement test automation.
• Build continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
• Identify root causes of bugs and regressions in complex, distributed systems.
• Focus on software quality at scale, including performance profiling and security testing.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Linux and Windows system administration.
• Networking principles, including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, SSH, and firewalls.
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming (e.g., Java, Python, C++, C#).
• Exposure to scripting languages (e.g., Bash, PowerShell, Batch scripting).
• Familiarity with unit testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, pytest, NUnit) and test automation tools.
• Understanding of version control (Git preferred) and CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Interest or experience in debugging, test-driven development, or software diagnostics.
• Proven ability to effectively leverage AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and test creation.
• Comfort working in an AI-augmented development environment, evaluating coding agent outputs for correctness, security, and maintainability.
