Mobile QA Engineer

Join us as a Mobile QA Engineer and play a vital role in shaping quality processes for innovative fintech mobile applications. At Kindgeek, you'll work on a regulated Payments Institution product — establishing QA practices from the ground up, building solid test documentation, and ensuring seamless performance across iOS and Android platforms. With our supportive team, room for professional growth, and a real opportunity to make a lasting impact, this is a role where your experience and initiative will be seen and valued.

Responsibilities

As a Mobile QA Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Owning and building QA processes and documentation from scratch — the team currently relies on developers for testing, so you'll be the driving force for quality culture;
• Creating risk-based test strategies, plans, traceability matrices, and test cases using best practices;
• Running functional, regression, exploratory, upgrade, and smoke testing across multiple device configurations (real and virtual devices, various OS versions, locales, orientations);
• Performing backend and integration testing using Postman, Swagger, and log inspection (Sentry, Firebase) to validate data integrity;
• Monitoring and validating network traffic using Charles Proxy or Proxyman to compare API contracts and responses;
• Filing detailed defect reports in Jira and collaborating with developers on triage and resolution;
• Supporting release readiness sign-off, preparing test-run summaries, and contributing to go/no-go decisions.
  
  

Requirements

We're looking for a Mobile QA Engineer who has:

• 5+ years of experience in QA overall;
• 2–3 years of focused mobile QA experience on iOS and/or Android applications (native or cross-platform, e.g. Flutter);
• A portfolio that demonstrates clear mobile-focused projects — candidates with purely mixed web+mobile experience will need to demonstrate deep mobile specialisation;
• Experience in Fintech, Trading, Banking, or Payments domains;
• Strong knowledge of test documentation: test plans, traceability matrices, test cases, and checklists;
• Proficiency in Charles Proxy or Proxyman for network traffic sniffing and API validation — this is mandatory;
• Experience in API testing with Postman and ability to read Swagger/OpenAPI specs;
• Hands-on experience with Firebase and Sentry for logging and monitoring;
• Familiarity with GitLab workflows, including merge requests, pipelines, and CI/CD processes;
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills for cross-functional collaboration;
• A process-oriented mindset with a drive to organise, document, and continuously improve QA practices.
  
  

Will Be a Plus

• Background in backend/API testing, especially with Python services;
• Previous experience in a QA lead, management, or analyst role — anyone who has built QA processes or led quality initiatives.
