We are seeking a Junior Mobile QA Engineer to help ensure the quality of our native iOS and Android applications.

The ideal candidate has foundational experience in both manual and automated testing, is eager to learn, and enjoys working closely with developers and product teams to improve release quality.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain automated tests for iOS and Android apps using Appium.
• Contribute to reusable test components, utilities, and test data within the existing automation framework.
• Automate smoke and regression tests for critical user journeys.
• Validate application behavior across supported devices, operating systems, and screen sizes.
• Test on real devices, emulators, and simulators, and use cloud device platforms when needed.
• Identify, log, and track defects with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, videos, and logs.
• Verify bug fixes and perform retesting and regression checks before each release.
• Analyze automation failures and help distinguish application defects from script or environment issues.
• Run automated test suites as part of CI/CD pipelines and report results.
