## Description

Join Evinova, a health-tech business, in accelerating better health outcomes by advancing digital transformation across the life sciences sector. We're building AI-native products that reshape how clinical trials are designed, documented, and delivered. As a Test Engineering Leader, you'll own quality across multiple products, shape the testing culture for cross-functional squads, and pioneer approaches to challenges that simply didn't exist a few years ago.

## Shape Testing Strategy for AI-Native Products

- Design and own end-to-end test strategies,automated and manual,for products that integrate LLMs, generative AI, and complex data pipelines.

- Develop novel evaluation frameworks for LLM output quality, prompt regression testing, and RAG retrieval accuracy.

- Select, implement, and continuously improve testing tools and frameworks in collaboration with engineering leadership and platform excellence teams.

- Drive a measurable shift from manual to automated testing, with clear metrics to track progress.

## Own Quality and Release Readiness

- Be the single point of accountability for testing across all releases of your two products.

- Build and maintain automation frameworks and scripts that keep pace with rapid release cycles.

- Analyse test results, spot trends, and turn data into actionable improvements,not just reports.

- Prepare release-readiness documentation and quality artifacts that satisfy both internal stakeholders and GxP compliance requirements.

## Lead, Coach, and Build Culture

- Partner with engineering managers, scrum masters, and delivery leads across squads and geographies to establish a shared quality vision.

- Lead external contract test engineering squads by influence,setting standards, mentoring team members, and modelling engineering excellence.

- Champion a quality-engineering mindset: everyone ships quality, not just the test team.

- Stay hands-on,write test cases, debug failures, and pair with engineers when the situation calls for it.

## Essential Skills and Experience

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Information Science, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

- 10+ years of hands-on software test engineering experience across the full stack (UI, API, data).

- Proven ability to lead test strategy and mentor other test engineers,whether through formal management or technical leadership.

- Strong automation skills with modern frameworks such as Playwright, Selenium, or Cypress, plus scripting fluency in Python or a comparable language.

- Solid experience with REST API testing, database validation (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or similar), and CI/CD-integrated test pipelines.

- A data-driven approach to quality: you define metrics, instrument dashboards, and use evidence to drive decisions.

## Highly Preferred

- Experience testing AI/ML-powered products,especially LLM evaluation, prompt testing, RAG validation, or output-quality benchmarking.

- Familiarity with GxP software validation, computerised system validation (CSV), or regulated-industry quality practices.

- Background in life sciences, health-tech, or clinical-trial technology.

- Experience working with geographically distributed teams and external vendor squads.

If you're looking for a role where deep test engineering craft meets the frontier of AI,and where your work genuinely improves patient outcomes,this is it.
