QA Automation Engineer

About the Role

As a QA Automation Engineer, you will take ownership of quality across a mature, multi-repository digital health platform, building and maintaining a robust automation framework while improving test coverage and overall platform reliability.

Working closely with a small engineering team, you'll collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements, define and document expected system behaviour, and translate those into effective automated tests.

This is a highly hands-on, autonomous role where you'll play a key part in enhancing software quality, enabling faster and more reliable releases, and ensuring the platform delivers a seamless experience for clients, end users, and internal teams.

Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of the quality assurance process, designing and developing the automated testing framework.
• Understand how a large, 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• Ask the right questions and document expected behaviour where inherited documentation is partly out of date.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.
