Requirements
• 5+ years of experience as a Senior QA Engineer. • Strong, hands-on experience in testing for complex products. • Deep understanding of BDD concepts, with experience designing test cases in Given / When / Then format. • Proven ability to identify product risks and design targeted, risk-based testing strategies. • Experience working closely with PMs and Engineers in fast-moving environments. • Comfortable handling high workload and ownership-driven responsibility. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to dig into issues and identify root causes. • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain testing outcomes, risks, and quality concerns to engineers, PMs, and stakeholders. • Basic to intermediate experience querying databases (e.g. SQL) to support testing and investigation is a plus. • Experience with automation tools (Playwright, Cypress, Cucumber, Appium, etc.) is a strong plus, but not required. • Non-negotiable expectations • Manual testing will always be part of this role. • This is not an automation-only position. • Candidates must be comfortable leading manual testing efforts first and contributing to automation later. • The Way We Work • 1. Build to Last • We design for safety and reliability so clinicians, patients, and our teams can trust what we build every day. • 2. Own Your Practice • Ideas rise on merit, not title, and everyone shares responsibility for the standards we set together. • 3. Move Fast, Stay Steady • We move quickly but never at the cost of trust. Progress only matters if people can depend on what we make. • 4. Make Others Better • Honest feedback, steady support, and shared growth keep our teams improving together.
Responsibilities
• Work closely with Product Managers and Engineers to identify gaps in requirements, clarify acceptance criteria, and challenge unclear assumptions. • Take ownership of testing as the current bottleneck, ensuring features are thoroughly tested before release. • Design and execute high-quality test scenarios (functional, regression, exploratory, and end-to-end), with a strong focus on edge cases and risk areas. • Write test cases using BDD principles (Given / When / Then) so they are automation-ready in the future. • Act as a quality advocate, owning test execution, bug reporting, and clear communication of risks and test outcomes. • Validate fixes, collaborate with engineers on root-cause analysis, and ensure issues are fully resolved. • Contribute to improving QA processes, test strategies, and release quality standards. • Once the manual testing bottleneck is resolved, gradually become involved in test automation efforts, working with engineers to design and implement automated tests. • Automation (shared ownership, future-focused) • Test automation already exists and is currently led by the engineering team. • At this stage, automation is not the primary responsibility of QA due to the manual testing bottleneck. • When QA involvement in automation increases, you’ll help design and implement automated tests using tools such as Playwright, BDD with Cucumber, or similar frameworks. • Until then, your key responsibility is to ensure manual test cases are designed in a way that makes future automation straightforward. • Flexible hybrid working environment, with 3 days in the office. • A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum • Learn from some of the best engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team • Become an owner, with shares (equity) in the company, if Heidi wins, we all win • The rare chance to create a global impact as you immerse yourself in one of Australia’s leading healthtech startups
