About the role
Our mobile apps are how millions of people access credit and move money. When something breaks, it’s someone’s disbursement or someone’s repayment.
You’ll shape how we test mobile: the regression process, the automation suite, and how we use AI tooling to cover more than a small team otherwise could.
What you’ll do
Own pre-release regression and validation for iOS and Android, and make the release readiness call
Build and maintain our mobile automation suite, and get it running in CI against every release candidate
Decide what gets automated and what stays manual, and keep the suite reliable enough that people trust it
Design end-to-end coverage across our core user journeys
Exploratory testing on high-risk changes: interrupted flows, dropped connections mid-transaction, unusual account states
Test on real devices, including low-end Android and poor network conditions.
Use AI across the testing cycle: generating test cases from specs, drafting automation with coding agents, triaging crashes and clustering support tickets at volume, summarizing logs during exploratory sessions
Audit AI-generated adversarial tests
Verify fixes and confirm nothing new has broken
Requirements
5+ years mobile QA, iOS and Android, as your primary discipline
Strong experience building and maintaining automation suites. Maestro, Appium, Espresso or XCUITest,
with maintainable code in Kotlin, Swift, Python or TypeScript
CI/CD experience and the ability to keep a suite stable
Judgement on what to automate. The failure mode we’re avoiding is a slow flaky suite nobody trusts
Hands-on experience using AI tooling in testing work, and the judgement to tell where it helps from where it produces confident nonsense
Experience testing on low-end Android devices and poor networks
You diagnose before escalating: adb/logcat, Xcode console, Charles or Proxyman
API-level testing
Exceptional bug reports. No engineer has come back to you asking for basic details
Strong exploratory instinct. You can explain why you looked somewhere, not just what you found
Fintech, payments or lending background
Clear written communication
Soft skills
Sound judgement under pressure. You can hold a release decision when a senior stakeholder is pushing back, state the risk plainly, and let it escalate without it becoming personal
Adversarial about the product, generous with the people building it. Engineers should want you looking at their work
Ownership. You don’t wait for a queue of assigned tickets. You find the gap and close it
Influence without authority. Much of this role is getting other teams to change how they work, which is done with evidence and relationships rather than process
Curiosity and persistence. You keep asking what happens if, long after the checklist is done, and you’ll chase an intermittent bug on one specific device until you have it
User curiosity. You read support tickets and app store reviews, because that’s where the real problems surface first
Comfortable with ambiguity. We’re building this function as we go, and parts of it don’t exist yet
