Test Engineering Leader - Evinova

About Evinova:

Evinova is a health-tech business accelerating the delivery of better health outcomes by propelling the life sciences sector forward in digital health, from the inside. Through our application of science-based expertise, evidence-led rigor, and human experience-driven insight, our digital solutions are deliberately designed so that everyone can reach better health outcomes together. 

Introduction to the role:

Evinova is building AI-native products that are reshaping how clinical trials are designed, documented, and delivered. Our AI-native product suite include Study Designer, Study Document Assistant, AI Document Authoring, and Pipeline Management and put large language models, intelligent automation, and human-centered design directly into the hands of clinical researchers and life-sciences professionals.

We’re looking for a Test Engineering Leader who is equal parts strategist and practitioner—someone who can define how we validate AI-powered software at scale, then roll up their sleeves and prove it works. 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: evaluating LLM outputs, validating RAG pipelines, and ensuring AI-generated content meets regulatory expectations in a GxP environment.

If you’ve been waiting for a role where deep test engineering craft meets the frontier of AI—and where your work genuinely improves patient outcomes—this is it.

Accountabilities:

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/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.

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

Desirable Skills/Experience:

• 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.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash ambitious thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Join us on our journey to redefine healthcare by creating the future of medicine. Our patient-centric approach leverages cutting-edge technologies to understand diseases better, develop new medicines, and support patients comprehensively. Be part of a digitally-enabled Research & Development cycle that enhances clinical trials, data collection, digital therapeutics, wearables, machine learning, visual analytics, integrated data for improved patient outcomes, and insights for next-generation products. Empower yourself to explore and disrupt while working at the forefront of science. If you thrive on adapting your skills and learning from setbacks, this is the place for you.
