• Reinvent healthcare with AI that puts safety first. We’re building the world’s first healthcare-only, safety-focused LLM — a breakthrough platform designed to transform patient outcomes at a global scale. This is category creation.

• Work with the people shaping the future. Hippocratic AI was co-founded by CEO Munjal Shah and a team of physicians, hospital leaders, AI pioneers, and researchers from institutions like El Camino Health, Johns Hopkins, Washington University in St. Louis, Stanford, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and NVIDIA.

• Backed by the world’s leading healthcare and AI investors. We recently raised a $126M Series C at a $3.5B valuation, led by Avenir Growth, bringing total funding to $404M with participation from Capital
  
  G, General Catalyst, a16z, Kleiner Perkins, Premji Invest, UHS, Cincinnati Children’s, Well Span Health, John Doerr, Rick Klausner, and others.

• Build alongside the best in healthcare and AI. Join experts who’ve spent their careers improving care, advancing science, and building world-changing technologies — ensuring our platform is powerful, trusted, and truly transformative.

We believe the best ideas happen together. To support fast collaboration and a strong team culture, this role is expected to be in our Palo Alto office five days a week unless otherwise specified.

At Hippocratic

AI, we believe trust, safety, and quality are the foundation of healthcare technology.

We’re looking for an experienced QA Lead Engineer who shares that belief — someone who brings technical depth, strong process discipline, and a genuine care for building reliable, human-centered systems.

In this role, you’ll lead quality assurance across multiple products and services in a fast-paced but process-driven environment, helping ensure every release we make is dependable, secure, and impactful. You’ll work closely with global engineering and product teams, bringing structure to complexity and helping us maintain the highest quality standards as we scale.

Experience with healthcare integrations or interoperability (FHIR, HL7, EHR/EMR systems) is a big plus. Familiarity with HIPAA and data privacy/security standards relevant to healthcare environments will help you thrive in this role — but passion for doing things right is just as important.

• Lead QA strategy, planning, and execution across multiple projects and releases.

• Define and evolve testing processes that balance thoroughness with agility.

• Drive all forms of testing, including:

  • Functional and regression testing

  • API and integration testing (especially for healthcare data flows)

  • Performance, scalability, and load testing

  • Security, privacy, and compliance validation

  • User acceptance and interoperability testing

  • Automation testing and framework maintenance

• Maintain high-quality test documentation — test plans, cases, results, and traceability reports.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across time zones to ensure quality is integrated at every stage of development.

• Track and report QA metrics, quality trends, and release readiness.

• Mentor and guide QA engineers, fostering an environment where quality and accountability are shared values.

• Remain flexible to changing priorities and comfortable working occasional late hours to align with global teams and critical launches.

• 10+ years of QA and testing experience, including 3–5 years leading teams or large-scale projects
