Accessing medical knowledge rapidly and easily at the point of care is still very difficult for healthcare professionals. Eolas Medical is transforming how critical medical knowledge is accessed at the point of care.

We have a vision that the future of healthcare ensures that the world’s medical knowledge is queried, seamlessly in real time, for every clinical decision ever made for a patient. We’re building and deploying the “ brain of an AI doctor ”.

Designed and developed by doctors, the platform aggregates and indexes tens of thousands of items of medical content, enabling rapid and accurate decision-making. It’s currently being used by hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals globally, over 85% of acute NHS hospitals, 40% of all doctors in Ireland and also used in world leading institutions in the US including Stanford Healthcare, Mass General and Boston Children’s Hospital.

• Perform exploratory, usability, and cross-browser testing across web and mobile environments.
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in testing processes and automation coverage.
• Work with customers i.e. HCPs to identify and provide technical

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in software quality assurance, ideally in a hybrid manual + automation role.
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies and defect management.
• Proficiency with modern automation tools (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, etc.).
• Experience testing APIs, web applications, and preferably mobile applications.
• Familiarity with CI/CD environments and Git-based workflows.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you’ll work closely with other engineers
• A mindset of continuous improvement and ownership over product quality.

Bonus Skills

• Background in a clinical environment would be amazing!
• Experience with TypeScript or JavaScript-based automation frameworks.
• Background in health tech or other regulated industries.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (£50,000 – £80,000, depending on experience).
• Flexible, remote/hybrid working culture with regular team meetups.
• The opportunity to shape QA strategy in a rapidly-growing health tech company.

Work on a mission-driven product that directly impacts patient care and clinician wellbeing.
