• Identify, document, and track defects, working closely with developers to prioritise, verify, and ensure timely resolution and retesting

• Proactively identify potential quality bottlenecks or risks in the delivery pipeline and suggest improvements to testing best practices

• Assist with the validation of builds for the App Store and Google Play Store to ensure smooth deployments

• Participate in technical discussions and refinement sessions to ensure requirements are testable and clear

• Prioritise competing demands and manage multiple concurrent tasks while adapting to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Proactively problem solving, identifying and confidently mitigating any risks, issues or control weaknesses that arise in your day-to-day

What we’re looking for

• Minimum 3+ years of technical experience in a QA or Software Engineering role

• Proven hands-on experience testing React Native applications and understanding the nuances of cross-platform mobile development

• Minimum 2–3 years of mobile app automation experience using tools such as Maestro, Detox, or similar frameworks

• Strong programming abilities and debugging skills, with a sharp eye for detail in both manual exploratory testing and automated scripts

• Familiarity with mobile debugging tools (e.g., React Native Debugger) and crash reporting tools like Firebase

• Ability to test and validate REST APIs and understand their interaction with the mobile front-end

• Experience working within a continuous delivery environment and a solid understanding of build pipelines and Agile practices

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to function as a strong team player and explain technical bugs to both engineers and stakeholders

We’re building a place where everyone truly feels they belong. Even if your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you.
