Careers
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
We’re looking for someone to take significant ownership of testing and product quality at Flok, 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 - depending on the seniority of the candidate hired.
What You'll Do
As the first dedicated test hire at Flok, to some extent the shape of the role will be decided by you depending on where your experience/interests lie, in combination with the test strategy that we set together based on our technical/commercial goals, but we envision that some/all of the following activities will be involved:
Automated testing (particularly e2e, scale and device-compatibility testing)
Manual testing (where appropriate/helpful)
Setting overall test strategy, prioritising test work and writing QA test plans
Managing the software release process
Documenting software releases and test activities in our medical device regulatory file
Reviewing / inputing into product requirements
Setting the bar on high quality bug reporting
Contributing to bug triage / diagnosis
Contributing to incident investigations and internal support queries
Potentially fixing some of the bugs you find
Configuring CI systems
Contributing to improving the observability of our systems (to make bugs easier to diagnose, and to provide the metrics/instrumentation needed for testing)
Providing input into system design / architecture decisions with an eye to testability
You’ll work alongside the rest of the engineering team on these activities - developers will continue to also write tests, and all Flok employees will continue to test the product internally - but you will be the sole person (at least initially) who is solely focused on testing and test strategy, and will take ownership of testing at Flok.
Help us shape the way the software team works as we grow, maturing our processes and mentoring new hires. You'll work with company leadership to make strategic decisions, have direct contact with patients your work helps, and invent things to solve problems we haven't yet spotted.
About You
You have significant programming experience (ideally Python/Typescript)
You have wide-ranging experience in a system/software test engineer role (or as a software engineer focusing on whole system testing and overall product quality), and are comfortable with a breadth of different styles of testing
You're comfortable configuring CI systems and setting up test environments
You enjoy working with design and product teams to help shape the product you're building
You care about your users - ensuring good experience and access to quality clinical care for our patients
You take initiative and ownership of your work, and are a clear communicator
