About the role

You'll own quality across mobile applications and backend services — working directly with engineers and product managers to ship features that reach millions of users.

What you'll do:

- Test native iOS and Android applications alongside backend APIs and end-to-end product flows — from credit line to deposits

- Investigate production issues using logs, crash reports, and traffic analysis tools, and communicate risk clearly to engineers and product managers

- Define automation strategy: what to automate, at which level, and why — then contribute to building and maintaining that coverage

What you'll own:

- Own end-to-end quality for your product area across mobile and backend

- Analyze new features from a product, technical, and user-risk perspective before testing begins

- Design and maintain test coverage for new and existing features

- Participate in regression scope, release risk assessment, and quality process improvements

- Use scripts, API clients, and AI-assisted workflows to reduce repetitive manual work

- Communicate coverage gaps and trade-offs to engineers, product managers, and stakeholders

What makes you a strong fit:

- 3+ years in QA or software testing with strong mobile product experience

- Solid understanding of mobile-specific behavior: app lifecycle, push notifications, deeplinks, permissions, device matrix, and network conditions

- Experience testing REST APIs and backend-driven product flows

- Ability to read and write basic code or scripts in at least one language: Kotlin, Swift, Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar

- Understanding of automated test structure, flaky tests, test data, and CI test runs

- Strong bug investigation skills: logs, crash reports, reproduction steps, severity, and root cause hypotheses
