· Proven, hands-on SQA experience — manual testing fundamentals, test case design, test planning, defect identification and reporting
· Expertise in deriving test cases from requirements, with proactive communication to identify and resolve requirement gaps
· Strong testing methodology: functional, regression, integration, exploratory, and edge-case analysis
· Hands-on experience with mobile test automation frameworks such as Appium, Espresso, and XCUITest
· Test management and defect tracking discipline (Jira, BrowserStack)
· A relentless drive toward quality — constantly grooming the defect backlog and driving it to closure, with the goal of moving toward a zero-defect backlog
· Experience testing Android and iOS apps — native and React Native (or strong willingness and aptitude to learn the platforms on the job)
· Understanding of mobile-specific testing concerns: different form factors (varying phone sizes, tablets) and multiple mobile OS versions, plus app lifecycle, offline/sync, and performance
· An AI-native mindset — you see AI as a force multiplier for QA, not a replacement, and are ready to drive your day-to-day almost entirely through AI tools (Claude, Cursor, and similar) to accelerate test design, automation, debugging, documentation, and release coordination
· Strong written and verbal communication, with proactive, consistent follow-ups that drive items to closure without being chased
· An ownership mentality across the testing and release lifecycle, with a continuous-learning attitude toward AI tooling and mobile testing innovations
· You thrive in cross-functional collaboration and build strong relationships with product, engineering, design, and DevOps teams
