About us:

Deciphex is a digital pathology company building AI-driven diagnostic and research software in a regulated environment (GLP, ISO 13485, IEC 62304, EU MDR).

We are looking for an experienced Manual Test Engineer to join our test engineering team, working across our Patholytix and Diagnexia products.
Our two core products are:

- Patholytix our research pathology platform used by pharma and CROs to streamline and scale preclinical study workflows. This is where you will spend the majority of your time.

- Diagnexia is our clinical diagnostic platform, supporting pathologists with AI-assisted image analysis and decision support in a regulated clinical environment. You’ll also work on this as needed.

You will be dedicated to one or the other.

- Our products span both a modern web-based product, and on-premise components.

- The web front end is JavaScript. The on-premises components include a C# and C++ and a Java application, all of which require continued support and testing.

How We Work

- Our QA team is involved from the moment items enter the backlog.

- You sit in requirements sessions, analyse functional specifications, design test cases, and carry those cases through to execution and defect management.

- You are never handed a finished product and asked to find bugs. Instead you’re part of shaping what good looks like right from the start.

- We are agile in our sprint cycles

- We expect n agile mindset: comfortable with changing priorities, able to work with incomplete requirements

- And skilled at risk-based decisions as deadlines are always tight.

What This Role Is Not

We want to be honest with you upfront, because the right fit matters.

- Manual testing is 95% percent of this role. If that does not excite you, this is not the right fit.

- If you need a calm, structured environment and a clear task list to do your best work, our pace will frustrate you.

- If quality is not something you advocate for across the business, you’ll ft in

Role overview

- You will own manual testing activities across the full test life cycle — from test analysis and design through execution, defect management and test closure.

- You should be comfortable operating end-to-end within the software development life cycle, from initiation through to release,

- And able to work independently while contributing to a collaborative, quality-focused team.

Key Responsibilities

- Perform test analysis, design and planning based on requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria.

- Execute functional, regression, integration and exploratory testing across web-based applications.

- Manage the full defect life cycle — logging, triage, prioritisation, verification and closure — with clear, reproducible reporting.

- Contribute to test closure activities, including coverage assessment, exit-criteria evaluation and test summary reporting.

- Support incident investigation and analysis, working with development and product teams to understand root cause and prevent recurrence.

- Collaborate throughout the SDLC — participating in refinement, planning and release activities — to surface risk and quality concerns early.

- Work alongside automation engineers, providing input to automation coverage and interpreting automated test results.

- Maintain traceability and test documentation to the standard expected in a regulated environment.
