Quality Assurance Engineer

About reach 52

reach52 is a fast growing, global, social enterprise start-up working to bring sustainable, universal basic healthcare services to users in low access, developing regions. We do this through an innovative service model, an off-line technology platform and embedding support within communities to help residents access care, knowledge, and other services we deliver. We need a socially motivated, high achieving individual to take a lead technology role.

Our mission is divided in to two parts: community access, navigation, and healthcare support on the one side; and ultra-low-cost fill-in services to sustain the solution on the other. This allows our core healthcare services and treatments to reach further into communities, prevent unnecessary suffering and save lives where state of the art services do not always get to.

Going to work each day and creating new ways to positively impact people’s lives is at the heart of what we do. To learn more about reach52, watch this short video https://vimeo.com/386671270

We have an aggressive product roadmap and features roll out plan. We need to continue to build our portfolio of integrated applications and ensure that they work in a frictionless manner despite being deployed in a challenging, off-line environment. We currently use document databases java/kotlin android off-line applications, together with node.js / javascript web apps. We have extended workflows that mean our processes flow from applications on android and through to web technologies depending on the access channel. Due to the broad nature of our core applications, we see test automation as a key to improving coverage and quality of testing. This is an opportunity for an enthusiastic, self-motivated individual to make a big difference in the test management space whilst also making an impact on people’s lives.
