[Hiring] QA Lead @Foundation Health

Role Description

You'd be joining alongside our QA Lead in the US, with real ownership of building this out properly in the UK: strategy, tooling, standards, process — all still very much taking shape. There's no hands-off management here — everybody, at every level, is hands-on, and that includes you.

And because we're AI-native by design, testing here isn't testing conventional software. You'll be leading the charge on how we test AI-led products across the UK — agentic workflows, LLM-based features, non-deterministic behaviour that doesn't fit a traditional pass/fail script.

What you'll actually do:

• Build out our QA function properly: strategy, process, tooling and standards, working alongside our US QA Lead as we grow this on both sides of the Atlantic.
• Design and own testing for AI-driven features: agentic workflows, LLM outputs, evaluation frameworks, and the genuinely hard question of what "correct" even means when a system doesn't behave the same way twice.
• Get hands-on with automation using Playwright and TypeScript — and just as hands-on with manual testing, regression and UAT when that's what a release actually needs. This isn't a role where you delegate the manual work away.
• Set the bar for how quality gets handled company-wide as we scale — not just catching bugs, but building the culture that prevents them.
• Work closely with Engineering and Product to make sure quality is part of how things get built, not a gate bolted on at the end.

Qualifications

• Builders, not inheritors.
• Genuinely fluent in AI, not just aware of it.
• True hybrids, with zero ego about it.
• Strong technical fundamentals underneath the modern tooling.
• People who lead by doing.

Requirements

• You've either grown a QA function from something small before, or you've been desperate for the chance to.
• AI is already part of your day-to-day — you use it properly, and you're curious about pushing it further.
• You've either tested AI-led products already or you understand exactly why testing them is a different problem to testing normal software.
• You're as comfortable writing a Playwright suite in TypeScript as you are doing hands-on manual testing, regression and UAT.
• Test strategy, defect management, release process — the fundamentals are solid, even if the problems you're applying them to are new.
• This role grows into shaping and leading QA in the UK as we scale.
