Job Description

📍 Utrecht, Netherlands · Full-time · Reports to the CTO Medendo builds the AI assistant that lets healthcare professionals dictate their clinical notes instead of typing them. More than 100 mental healthcare (GGZ) organisations and thousands of clinicians use it every day. In Dutch mental healthcare we are the market leader. The product is growing from a reporting tool into a clinical assistant: consult prep, treatment plans, translations and deep EHR integrations. At the same time we're expanding into Germany and new parts of care, and working towards MDR certification. A small team shipping fast into clinical settings needs a proper safety net. That's why we're hiring our first dedicated QA Engineer. What you'll do You own quality across the product. You join a team of five engineers and work closely with our CTO. • You decide what gets tested where (unit, integration, end-to-end) and make the trade-offs explicit • You grow our Playwright suite into a fast signal the team trusts, and wire it properly into CI • You work out how to test LLM output: catching regressions when a prompt or model changes, and hallucinations before a clinician sees them • You run the software validation cycle that MDR and ISO 13485 require, without slowing development down • You help build AI agents that do exploratory testing the way a curious tester would • You review test quality in PRs and coach developers on testability To be fair There is no QA department to join. You're the first, so the strategy, the tooling and the habits are yours to set up. Part of the job is validation evidence that has to be right for auditors. If that sounds like a chance, this is it. If you'd rather join an established QA team, this isn't the role for you. Who we're looking for • 5+ years in testing or quality engineering, writing automation in Python and/or TypeScript • You've built and maintained a real E2E suite, and you know why tests go flaky and how to fix it properly • You think in risk: you know which failures are annoying and which are dangerous • You're curious about AI and want to test both with it and against it • Experience with IEC 62304, ISO 13485, MDR or FHIR/HL7 is a plus, not a must • Good English. Dutch is a plus Our stack Python/FastAPI, React/TypeScript, Google Cloud (GKE, Cloud Run, Vertex), Gemini and GPT. Testing with Playwright, pytest, Vitest and Xray. GitHub, ArgoCD, Sentry and Jira. What we offer • €70,000 to €95,000 gross per year, depending on experience • SARs: you share in Medendo's growth in value • Hybrid: about half the week at our office in Utrecht • Laptop of your choice • A small team and few rules. How you hit your goals is up to you How to apply Apply here or send your CV to [email protected]. Add a short note (max 150 words): how would you check that AI-generated session notes didn't get worse after a model update? Rather talk it through in the first interview? That's fine too. From first contact to offer usually takes no more than two weeks. Read how we handle your data: https://app.notion.com/p/12e23ed99e22805db036ecbf2a1305f6
