Want to join a team of passionate people who want to build a future where no one dies from skin cancer?

About us

Skin Analytics is an award‑winning, health tech company that deploys world‑leading skin cancer pathways using AI as a medical device, DERM.

Following our recent £15M series B funding, regulatory milestones hit, and doubling from 50 to 100 headcount in 2025, we're ready to scale further internationally, making history for AI in healthcare and the future of dermatology.

We're proud to epitomise AI for good - with a Class III CE mark, DERM is the only AI as a medical device approved to make clinical decisions autonomously in the cancer space, as well as being the first company to receive a NICE recommendation for use across the NHS.*

DERM is deployed at more than 28 NHS organisations where we enable patients to gain significantly quicker access to skin cancer diagnosis. If that's not enough, we also collaborate with some of the largest health insurers to reach patients in their own homes.

We are a team of passionate people on a mission to build a future where no one dies from skin cancer.

We are looking for a highly skilled Automation QA Engineer with extensive experience across the full testing pyramid, from unit and integration tests through to end‑to‑end testing, on both mobile and web applications as well as pure API products. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software quality assurance, will be comfortable defining a testing strategy from scratch, and will be confident collaborating directly in the product codebase to make automated testing easier.

• Define and own the test strategy for new products and features, from unit through integration and end‑to‑end coverage.
• Build and maintain automated test suites for mobile, web and pure API applications.
• Support manual testing where required, particularly for new features or areas not yet covered by automation.
• Make changes directly in the product codebase where it makes testing easier, such as adding test IDs, rather than relying on engineers to do it.
• Document test plans, results, defects and track regulated software verification using Ketryx.
• Review and analyse user stories, requirements, and technical specifications, working closely with developers and product managers to identify gaps, ambiguity, or potential issues before development starts
• Work with other QAs and engineers to improve testing tooling, coverage, and approach across the team as a whole

• 4+ years in software QA with a focus on automation testing.
• Hands-on experience building automated tests spanning web, mobile (iOS and Android) and API layers with Playwright and Appium.
• Experience testing pure API products, using tools like Postman and Swagger.
• Proven experience defining a product test strategy as a whole.
• Using agentic AI tooling to accelerate the creation and maintenance of automated tests.

• Experience in working within a regulated SSDLC process
• Experience in working in Med Tech, including ISO 13485 and ISO 62304
