Are you searching for an opportunity to play a key role in driving the dramatic growth of a highly successful software company?
At Poppulo, we’re working on what’s next in communications and workplace technology. As a pioneer in this industry, we understand
that meaningfully reaching every employee is hard. And so is managing office space in a hybrid world. And so is improving the
customer and guest experience. We exist to make each of these things easier. We exist to bring harmony to our customers.
And we do that at enterprise scale. Our omnichannel employee communications, customer communications, and workplace experience
platform is trusted by over 6,000 organizations today, reaching more than 35M employees and delivering content to 500,000+ digital
signs.
We know there’s no such thing as a “perfect" candidate - we’re all a work in progress and are growing new skills and capabilities
all the time. We encourage you to apply for a position with Poppulo even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We believe in
fostering an environment where there is a diversity of perspectives, in hopes that we can all thrive.
Job Summary
You will join a cross-functional team building our Next-Generation of digital signage tooling from a world class CMS that
integrates design and event systems, through a multitude of signage presentation platforms, into high volume reporting, and
analytics systems.
We work in an agile, DevOps-oriented environment with an emphasis on quality engineering, sustainable delivery, and continuous
improvement. You’ll help ensure our systems are reliable, observable, secure, and capable of handling data at large scale.
This role will help DS strengthen today’s quality engineering foundation while evolving toward a more automated, telemetry-driven,
and AI-enabled delivery model. We do not expect every future capability to exist on day one; we are looking for someone who can
improve the current system while helping define and pilot the next generation of quality practices.
You will collaborate with Product, UX, Engineering, and DevOps to deliver high-quality features in an agile, flow-oriented
delivery environment using Jira, GitLab pipelines, and AWS SaaS architecture.
The Person
You are a team player who cares about the customer and business outcomes. You enjoy working closely with teammates to build
relationships while finding and fixing important problems. You often experiment with the latest technology and methods to
logically and efficiently improve process. You prioritize prevention of risk over late detection of defects, and you are
comfortable coaching teammates, improving quality practices, and helping teams build quality into the platform from the start. You
are also comfortable operating in a transition state: strong in today’s quality engineering practices, while curious and pragmatic
about how AI, automation, and telemetry will change quality over the next several years.

At CoMind, we are developing a non-invasive neuromonitoring technology that will result in a new era of clinical brain monitoring. In joining us, you will be helping to create cutting-edge technologies that will improve how we diagnose and treat brain disorders, ultimately improving and saving the lives of patients across the world. THE ROLE: The Software Engineering team at CoMind spans the full stack of a regulated medical device company from embedded and real-time systems through application software, ML inference, GUI, DevOps, and test engineering. It is a team that builds across every layer, working to medical device software standards and shipping software that has to perform reliably in clinical environments. As a Senior/Staff Software Test Engineer, you will define the quality and verification strategy across CoMind’s entire software stack from embedded real-time systems to cloud-side data pipelines. You will move beyond task-level execution to architect the infrastructure and 'compliance-as-code' processes that provide the engineering team with high-velocity, high-confidence validation. You will serve as a key technical authority, ensuring our software not only meets stringent IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 standards but does so through sustainable, automated design. You will function as the technical authority for software quality. Your goal is to move CoMind beyond traditional V&V, architecting a self-validating system that integrates safety, regulatory compliance, and high-velocity development. You will be the bridge between Systems Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, and Software Engineering, ensuring that quality is an inherent attribute of our technology rather than a post-development checklist. At CoMind, all team members work at least 4 days per week in the office, plus a flexible work-from-home day. This role is based in our London (Kings Cross) office. RESPONSIBILITIES: * Architect a scalable, high-fidelity testing infrastructure that enables continuous validation. Champion 'design for testability' across the entire engineering stack, influencing system architecture to ensure critical safety and performance requirements are verifiable by design. * Define the end-to-end V&V strategy for the product lifecycle. Quantitatively map software verification evidence directly to system-level safety risks (ISO 14971) to create a 'compliance-as-code' environment that drastically reduces time-to-submission for FDA and other regulatory bodies. * Drive a 'quality-first' engineering culture by mentorship. Lead training and initiatives on Test-Driven Development (TDD), CI/CD best practices, and automated quality gates, ensuring that the engineering team’s velocity is sustained by high-confidence automated processes. * Lead the development of AI-augmented test strategies. Architect predictive anomaly detection systems and AI-driven test generation engines that evolve alongside our software, turning the test suite into an intelligent system that learns from past regressions. * Collaborate with engineering leadership to drive continuous improvement in software development and test processes, ensuring that quality practices scale with the organisation. * AI is fundamental to our culture — it's not just a tool, but a core part of how we work, collaborate, and innovate. We expect all team members to embrace AI in their daily work and continuously find new ways to use it effectively. SKILLS & EXPERIENCE: * Strategic Execution: 7+ years in software test engineering, with a proven track record of architecting testing strategies for complex, regulated systems (embedded, real-time, or SaMD). * Regulatory & Risk Authority: Deep working knowledge of IEC 62304 and ISO 14971. Proven ability to design 'compliance-as-code' workflows that integrate risk controls directly into the CI/CD pipeline and automate regulatory evidence generation. * Technical Proficiency: Advanced Python and C/C++; extensive experience building scalable test infrastructure for both embedded hardware and cloud-side data pipelines. * Cultural Leadership: Demonstrated success in mentoring software engineers and driving a 'quality-first' culture through TDD, static analysis, and automated quality gates. * Cybersecurity & Documentation: Strong experience in cybersecurity requirements (e.g., IEC 81001-5-1, FDA cybersecurity guidance) and rigorous documentation management for regulatory submission. NICE TO HAVE * Experience testing real-time Linux or RTOS-based products. * Background in MLOps, including validation of model drift, dataset governance, and automated performance evaluation. * Expertise in managing complex build environments (e.g., CMake, Bazel) or cloud-native infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS/GCP). * Direct experience navigating FDA Q-Sub or MHRA pre-submission processes. * Experience with hardware-in-the-loop or software-in-the-loop test environments. BENEFITS: * Company equity plan so all employees share in the success of the company * Salary-sacrifice pension scheme * Private medical, dental and vision insurance (medical history disregarded) * Group life assurance at 4x annual income * Comprehensive mental health support, including unlimited access to 1:1 sessions with trained professionals * Unlimited holiday allowance (+ bank holidays) and one week of remote working per quarter * Lunch voucher (£10) every day for JustEat and free dinner on those days where you need to work later * Twice weekly deliveries of fresh fruit and an extensive selection of snacks and drinks * YuLife subscription, allowing you to turn your daily steps and meditation into discounts at a range of stores DISCLAIMER - We use AI notetaking tools to transcribe interviews for internal review.
