HealthHero is looking for a conscientious and experienced QA engineer to support the ongoing delivery of technology to internal and external users.

As a QA Engineer, you will bring your passion for quality to help our teams create high-quality products. You will help ensure that there is a fostering of the ‘whole team’ approach to testing and that quality is everybody's responsibility. You will work within an agile scrum team to help ensure that risks are highlighted, and that quality is being built into the product, thinking of testing as early as possible in the software development process.

We value people who are happy to challenge the status quo and are continually looking to improve both their own work and the wider company processes and practices.

• Improving quality within teams by promoting quality principles and best practices, especially ‘Shift-left testing’
• Foster whole team approach to quality and testing

• Work with Product owners and Developers to help create well defined user stories (3 amigos)
• Highlight risks of user stories/features being developed
• Identify areas of the product that require tests
• Create test scenarios/testing notes for user stories
• Create exploratory test charters

• Pair with developers for testing and demoing of stories/features
• Help create automated API checks
• Create automated UI end-to-end checks
• Develop excellent understanding of business processes, integrations, and procedures
• Analyse bugs and errors found during tests

• Document results of tests for the software development team
• Recommend improvements in software to enhance user experience

Company

Headquartered in London, HealthHero marries human expertise with digital convenience to provide fully holistic virtual healthcare. Built on the foundations of established companies with proven sector and country expertise, combined with best-in-class digital technology, HealthHero is now the largest digital healthcare provider in Europe, delivering 24/7 access to doctors and expert clinicians wherever and whenever it is needed via a suite of tools including video calls, online chats and phone.

HealthHero is on track to build one of the largest digital health players in the world through a combination of buy-and-build and scale up of an existing portfolio through organic execution. While there are multiple small players with specific offering in digital health, we have established that there is a very significant opportunity to build a scale player that provides a holistic, integrated offering in virtual primary care. The market timing is compelling, and the need is pronounced across multiple segments- some we are present in and others we are entering through further acquisitions. HealthHero currently operates across UK, Ireland and Germany and is backed by pan-European investment house MARCOL.
