Posisi: Senior QA Automation Engineer
Name: Faisal Affan

Cover Letter:

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the Senior QA Automation Engineer position at KangarooHealth.

With 5+ years of experience in software engineering, I bring:
• Strong TypeScript & Python skills (required)
• Mobile testing experience with Flutter
• CI/CD expertise (GitHub Actions, AWS)
• Backend architecture background (Go, microservices)
• IoT experience handling 50K events/second

While I am currently expanding my Playwright expertise, my engineering
mindset and rapid learning capability make me confident I can contribute
quickly to your team.

I am excited about KangarooHealth's mission in connected care and would
love to discuss how I can add value to your QA automation efforts.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
Faisal Affan

Hi [Name],

I noticed KangarooHealth is hiring for Senior QA Automation Engineer.

I have 5+ years in software engineering with strong TypeScript/Python
skills and mobile testing experience. I've worked with IoT systems
handling 50K events/second and understand CI/CD pipelines.

I'm particularly interested in KangarooHealth because of your device-agnostic
approach to connected care — I think my backend/architecture background
would translate well to building robust test frameworks.

Would love to connect and learn more about the team!

Best,
Faisal

Subject: Senior QA Automation Engineer — Strong Fit for KangarooHealth

Hi [Name],

I came across KangarooHealth's Senior QA Automation Engineer role and
wanted to reach out directly.

Background:
• 5+ years software engineering (backend + some QA)
• TypeScript, Python, Go, Flutter
• Built IoT data pipelines (50K events/sec)
• AWS cloud infrastructure experience
• Currently learning Playwright for QA automation

I noticed your team has Indonesian engineers (Noval, Surya) — I'm based
in Indonesia but work US hours, which aligns with the role requirements.

Would you have 15 minutes for a quick call? I'd love to learn more
about the technical challenges you're solving.

Best regards,

Subject: Following Up — Senior QA Automation Engineer

Hi [Name],

I recently submitted my application for the Senior QA Automation Engineer
position at KangarooHealth (via Wellfound).

I wanted to reiterate my enthusiasm for this role. What draws me to
KangarooHealth specifically:

1. Device-agnostic approach — fascinating challenge for test orchestration
2. Healthcare mission — meaningful impact on patient care
3. Engineering culture — "engineer first, QA second" resonates with me

I have been proactively learning Playwright and have started building
a sample E2E test framework to demonstrate my commitment.

Would be happy to share my approach or walk through any code samples.

Thank you for your time!

Best,
Faisal Affan

"If I receive an offer at $40-50K, I would need to discuss
compensation. Based on my experience with Go, TypeScript,
and cloud infrastructure, I believe $65-70K would be
more aligned with market rates for this role.

I'm also open to discussing equity compensation if the
base is below market."

If pushed back:
"I understand this may be below your initial range.
What equity or bonus structure could complement the
base salary to bring total compensation closer to
market rate?"
