Our vision is a new category of habit-forming healthcare globally; one that is patient-centred, predictive, and intrinsically scalable. We're a digital-native healthcare provider, using personalised video streams to deliver treatment pathways at population scale, with transformative economics. By personalising each patient's interaction in real-time, we deliver world-class medical treatment in an engaging consumer experience.
Engineering, Full-time, Cambridge (UK)
Senior/Staff System Test Engineer
The Role
You'll be Flok's first dedicated test hire, and will take ownership of testing and product quality, for both our patient facing application and internal clinician tools.
This is an IC role (at least for the foreseeable future), but with scope for technical leadership in terms of setting testing strategy and direction.
What You'll Do
Your day-to-day work will be impactful and varied, including:
Designing and building automated tests (particularly e2e, scale and device-compatibility tests)
Performing manual testing (where it adds value)
Setting overall test strategy, prioritising test efforts, and writing clear QA plans
Managing the software release process and documenting releases for medical device regulatory compliance
Reviewing product requirements
Participating in bug triage/diagnosis and incident investigations
Configuring CI systems and maintaining test environments
Improving system observability to facilitate easier testing and debugging
Providing input into system design decisions with a focus on testability
Fixing some of the bugs you find (where appropriate)
You’ll collaborate closely with the rest of the engineering team (who will continue to also write tests) and all Flok employees (who will continue to help QA the product internally), but you’ll be the go-to expert dedicated to test strategy and quality ownership.
You’ll also help mature our engineering processes as we grow, mentor new team members, work directly with company leadership, and see the impact of your work on real patients.
About You
You have strong programming skills (ideally in Python / TypeScript)
You bring wide-ranging system/software test experience, including a breadth of different styles of testing, and with a focus on whole system testing and overall product quality
