Who are Heidi?

Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that supports clinicians every step of the way, from documentation to delivery of care.

We exist to double healthcare’s capacity while keeping care deeply human. In 18 months, Heidi has returned more than 18 million hours to clinicians and supported over 73 million patient visits.

Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi across 116 countries and over 110 languages.

Founded by clinicians, Heidi brings together clinicians, engineers, designers, scientists, creatives, and mathematicians, working with a shared purpose: to strengthen the human connection at the heart of healthcare.

Backed by nearly $100 million in total funding, Heidi is expanding across the USA, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with major health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, MaineGeneral, and Monash Health, among others.

We move quickly where it matters and stay grounded in what’s proven, shaping healthcare’s next era. Ready for the challenge?

• Communicate effectively: Report testing outcomes clearly and concisely to your manager and stakeholders.

• Leverage the right tools: Utilize test management, CI/CD, and issue tracking tools to streamline the testing process.

What we will look for:

• 3-5 years of experience as an SDET, demonstrating a strong understanding of software testing principles, such as Behaviour Driven Testing (BDD).

• Proficiency in designing, developing, and maintaining automated test suites and frameworks for E2E (e.g., using tools like Playwright, Cypress, Cucumber, Appium, or similar).

• Experience in Mobile testing (e.g., Appium) is a bonus: You are proficient in mobile testing frameworks and tools.

• Performance testing experience is a bonus: You have designed and executed performance tests.

• Hands-on experience with systems integration testing for web applications, mobile platforms, and portals.

• Proven ability to analyze functional requirements and API specifications to create effective automated test suites.

• A knack for troubleshooting and identifying specific failure conditions.
