• Lead testing efforts for complex features and major mobile app releases on iOS and Android.
• Identify and mitigate risks early in the development cycle through thoughtful QA planning and execution.

• Build and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for native mobile apps using tools like Appium, Espresso (Kotlin), and XCUITest (Swift).
• Leverage automation to ensure broad and reliable test coverage, particularly for regression and smoke testing.
• Test RESTful APIs, databases, and backend systems to ensure full end-to-end coverage.
• Contribute to performance and security testing efforts (beginner-level experience required; growth mindset expected).

• Work closely with product managers, developers (Kotlin & Swift), and DevOps to align on testing scope, coverage, and release readiness.
• Clearly communicate test progress, risks, and results to stakeholders and senior management.
• Advocate for QA best practices throughout the mobile development lifecycle.

• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and knowledge sharing with junior QA engineers.
• Take initiative to improve QA processes, tooling, and team collaboration.
• Drive quality across the SDLC by representing QA in sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

Competencies

• 5+ years of experience in software QA, with a strong focus on mobile app testing (iOS and Android).
• Proficiency in automated testing for Kotlin (Android) and Swift (iOS) mobile apps.
• Strong hands-on experience with mobile automation frameworks like Appium, Espresso, or XCUITest.
• Solid understanding of database/backend systems, test data management, and API testing.
• Introductory experience (or a willingness to grow) in performance and security testing.
• Demonstrated ability to lead QA efforts for complex projects or high-impact features.
• Strong communication, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills.

• Experience testing mobile apps with a focus on security, privacy, or data protection (e.g., messaging, authentication, encryption, VPNs).
• Hands-on experience with real-device testing platforms (e.g., Firebase Test Lab, BrowserStack) for coverage across secure environments.
• Strong awareness of Play Store and App Store security guidelines and compliance requirements.
• Experience testing SDK integrations, permissions management, or deep linking in secure mobile ecosystems.
