About the Role
As a QA Automation Engineer, you will take end-to-end ownership of quality across a large, roughly 10-year, multi-repo digital health platform. You will build the automated test framework hands-on, define expected behaviour, and help improve reliability from an existing baseline where test coverage and pass rates need strengthening.
You will work with an engineering team of 4, collaborating to understand how the system should work from client, end-user and internal operations perspectives. The role is predominantly hands-on and independent, with shared responsibility for product quality.
The first phase will involve speaking with stakeholders, clarifying requirements, documenting expected behaviour, and building out automation that enables faster, safer releases.
Responsibilities
- Own the quality process end to end and build the automated test framework hands-on.
- Understand how a large, roughly 10-year, multi-repo system works and how it should work from client, end-user and internal operations perspectives.
- Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.
- Author English-readable scenarios in Cucumber and Gherkin.
- Build automation in JavaScript and TypeScript.
- Drive the UI through a page object model.
- Add data-test-ids to React code where missing.
- Validate correct database state using SQL.
- Maintain the automated tests as new features arrive.
- Feed into requirements upfront as new features are planned.
- Flag compliance, regulatory and security implications.
- Run exploratory testing to identify where the product behaves incorrectly.
- Improve reliability and enable faster, safer releases through automation.
- Reproduce multi-step defects precisely and identify edge cases.
- Build a repeatable, documented QA process from an unreliable baseline.
- Work out how the system should behave across multiple user perspectives and how it might break.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in QA or test automation, hands-on with TypeScript or JavaScript.
- 4+ years of hands-on test automation coding in TypeScript or JavaScript.
- 2+ years of BDD test authoring with Cucumber and Gherkin.
- 3+ years of web UI test automation using a page object model, preferably with Playwright.
- 2+ years of end-to-end QA ownership, including defining, documenting, building and maintaining tests.
- 3+ years of requirements analysis and stakeholder communication.
- 2+ years of SQL querying to validate database state, using MySQL or PostgreSQL.
- 3+ years of exploratory testing and precise multi-step defect reproduction.
- Ability to drive automation and own the build with limited direction.
- Strong detail orientation, including the ability to spot edge cases and gaps in specifications.
- Hands-on JavaScript or TypeScript automation coding is non-negotiable; willingness to learn is not sufficient.
Nice to Have
- Mobile app testing and automation experience, especially with Flutter apps.
- Experience with Appium or Flutter integration_test.
- Experience reading and working with React front-end code.
- Experience with Angular, Vue or another modern JavaScript framework.
- Security and regulatory awareness, including ISO 27001, GDPR or NHS DTAC.
- Experience in another regulated or audited environment.
- ISO 13485 medical-device regulated-environment testing.
- Experience in an adjacent regulated domain such as medtech, fintech or NHS/DTAC.
- Healthtech or digital health domain experience.
- Comfort using AI in the engineering workflow.
