🏥 About Cohere Health
Cohere Health is a healthcare technology company focused on using clinical intelligence, AI-powered solutions, and modern technology to improve healthcare decision-making and the overall healthcare journey. The company works across areas connecting health plans, providers, and healthcare operations, with a strong emphasis on improving efficiency and quality of care.

💡 Why This Role Is Good for Your Experience
🚀 This is much more than a traditional test-script position. Cohere Health’s current Senior SDET description specifically focuses on owning and evolving the end-to-end automation strategy across UI, API, configuration changes, and critical workflows.
🧩 You can strengthen your experience in Playwright/Cypress/PyTest with TypeScript, REST API automation, AWS validation, microservices, event-driven architectures, configuration-driven systems, feature flags, and environment-specific testing.
☁️ Working with cloud-native systems and release pipelines can also move your profile toward SDET + DevOps + Quality Engineering, rather than limiting you to functional automation.
🛠️ Skills Required
🔹 6–8 years of experience in SDET, QA Automation, or Test Engineering
🔹 Strong hands-on experience with Playwright, Cypress, or PyTest
🔹 Strong TypeScript programming and automation framework knowledge
🔹 REST API automation and API validation
🔹 AWS/cloud-native application testing
🔹 Understanding of microservices architecture
🔹 Knowledge of event-driven systems and asynchronous workflows
🔹 Experience with end-to-end testing and critical business workflows
🔹 Strong debugging across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers
🔹 Understanding of configuration-driven applications and feature flags
🔹 CI/CD and release-pipeline knowledge
🔹 Performance/reliability testing, preferably with tools such as k6, is an advantage
🔹 Healthcare or other regulated-domain experience is a plus
🎯 Preparation Tips
🧪 1. Build a Playwright + TypeScript scenario: Be ready to explain how you would structure a scalable framework using fixtures, page objects, reusable utilities, test data, retries, reporting, and parallel execution.
🔌 2. Prepare API automation deeply: Revise REST methods, authentication, status codes, schema validation, contract testing, negative scenarios, chained API workflows, and API/UI test strategy.
☁️ 3. Study AWS testing: Understand how you would validate applications running across cloud services and troubleshoot failures involving application, infrastructure, networking, or deployment layers.
🔄 4. Learn event-driven testing: Prepare examples involving queues/events, asynchronous processing, eventual consistency, duplicate events, retries, and message failures.
🚦 5. Understand feature flags: Be ready to explain testing different configurations, environments, flag combinations, rollback scenarios, and production-safe releases.
📈 6. Prepare performance testing: Since performance/reliability testing is listed as a plus, revise load testing, throughput, latency, response-time percentiles, bottleneck identification, and tools such as k6.
🧠 7. Think like a Quality Engineer: The role emphasizes release safety rather than simply executing scripts. Prepare examples where your automation reduced production risk, improved CI/CD confidence, or prevented regression.
🧑💼 Expected Interview Rounds at Cohere Health
For this specific Senior SDET Engineer opening, the listed process is:
1️⃣ Talent Acquisition Round – Experience, role alignment, location, notice period, compensation expectations, and motivation.
2️⃣ Hiring Manager Round – Automation architecture, ownership, quality strategy, debugging, leadership, and collaboration.
3️⃣ Behavioral Interview(s) – Communication, ownership, handling conflicts, mentoring, and working with engineering/platform teams.
4️⃣ Case Study – Expect practical quality-engineering thinking around automation strategy, release safety, API/UI testing, cloud systems, or production-risk scenarios.
5️⃣ Senior Leadership Interview – The current listing also mentions a senior leadership interview, although the company notes that the process can change.
💰 Salary Range
💵 Current third-party estimates vary considerably. Glassdoor currently shows an estimated ₹4–₹9 LPA range for the Hyderabad Senior SDET Engineer listing, while another current job-market estimate places the role around ₹18–₹32 LPA. These figures are not an official Cohere Health salary range and should be treated only as market estimates.
🎯 Considering the 6–8 years experience, senior automation ownership, AWS, TypeScript, API automation, and architecture expectations, candidates should focus on demonstrating senior-level impact rather than negotiating purely around years of experience.
📄 Resume Tips
✅ Put Playwright/Cypress/PyTest + TypeScript prominently in your technical summary.
✅ Mention measurable automation impact: “reduced regression execution by 60%” is stronger than simply writing “worked on automation.”
✅ Add separate bullets for UI automation, API automation, AWS/cloud testing, CI/CD, microservices, and performance testing.
✅ Highlight framework ownership: architecture, reusable components, parallel execution, reporting, stability, and maintenance.
✅ Include examples of debugging issues across frontend, backend, API, database, infrastructure, or deployment layers.
✅ If you have healthcare, fintech, insurance, or another regulated-domain background, highlight it clearly.
