Senior Quality Engineer

About us

At Ada, we envision a world where everyone gets the healthcare they need. Yet, millions remain undiagnosed and untreated due to the complexity of identifying rare and underrecognized conditions, even when effective treatments exist.

We’re changing that. Powered by leading AI and built by a team of physicians and clinical scientists, Ada helps people get answers faster, identifying those at risk and guiding them to the right care. Every successful journey makes us smarter and able to help more people.

If you’re passionate about transforming healthcare and ensuring no one goes undiagnosed, join us and be part of what’s next.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Quality Engineer who is keen to play a key part in shaping the quality of our existing mobile app, working across the stack to design, extend, and evolve our automated and exploratory testing approaches. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to embed quality throughout the SDLC, championing a whole-team mindset while tackling the unique challenges of testing LLM-powered systems in a regulated environment.

This is a remote role, open to candidates based in the UK or Germany.

What you’ll do

• Extend and enhance our existing, general-purpose E2E test automation framework (Kotlin and JavaScript-based).
• Develop new, service-level test automation using Kotlin to support your team's deployment pipeline and product stack. 
• Champion a 'whole-team' approach to quality, coaching and mentoring engineers, designers, and product managers in testing and risk-based analysis.
• Continuously test throughout the entire SDLC, from idea and design to code and production, using a smart mix of exploratory and automated testing techniques.
• Collaborate with engineers to identify and mitigate integration risks at the API and system level, thinking deeply about how our services interact.
• Document and report testing outcomes clearly, ensuring all documentation and approaches meet regulatory and compliance standards while proactively improving compliance procedures.
• Drive the internal quality community, actively share your knowledge, and help raise the bar for testing and quality across the entire engineering team.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience as a Senior Quality Engineer (or similar role) with a strong background in extending and scaling test automation frameworks.
• Familiarity with our product stack which includes  Kotlin, Typescript, Javascript, React, Python, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, AWS, and Jenkins.
• Deep understanding of system-level and API testing.
• A track record of identifying integration risks in complex, modern web applications.
• Previous experience working in a regulated environment (e.g., healthcare, finance, etc)
• A risk-based and context-driven mindset, with hands-on experience in exploratory testing, a good knowledge of testing heuristics, and able to report testing results in language that stakeholders appreciate and understand.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; you are happy to pair, learn, teach, and share your knowledge with technical and non-technical colleagues.
• A fast learner eager to dive in.
• Proactive, result-oriented, and highly motivated with a strong sense of ownership and initiative.

What’s awaiting you at Ada

• Flexible working hours to maintain a healthy work/life balance
• 28 days holiday, plus bank holidays to unplug, rest and recharge for our UK employees (30 days plus public holidays in Germany).
• Corporate health insurance and pension scheme (UK).
• Support to set up your home office space, with the option for a co-working space subscription for our remote employees.
