About the role

You'll own quality across mobile applications and backend services — working directly with engineers and product managers to ship features that reach millions of users.

What you'll do:

• Test native iOS and Android applications alongside backend APIs and end-to-end product flows — from credit line to deposits

• Investigate production issues using logs, crash reports, and traffic analysis tools, and communicate risk clearly to engineers and product managers

• Define automation strategy: what to automate, at which level, and why — then contribute to building and maintaining that coverage

What you'll own:

• Own end-to-end quality for your product area across mobile and backend

• Analyze new features from a product, technical, and user-risk perspective before testing begins

• Design and maintain test coverage for new and existing features

• Participate in regression scope, release risk assessment, and quality process improvements

• Use scripts, API clients, and AI-assisted workflows to reduce repetitive manual work

• Communicate coverage gaps and trade-offs to engineers, product managers, and stakeholders

What makes you a strong fit:

• 3+ years in QA or software testing with strong mobile product experience

• Solid understanding of mobile-specific behavior: app lifecycle, push notifications, deeplinks, permissions, device matrix, and network conditions

• Experience testing REST APIs and backend-driven product flows

• Ability to read and write basic code or scripts in at least one language: Kotlin, Swift, Java, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or similar

• Understanding of automated test structure, flaky tests, test data, and CI test runs

• Strong bug investigation skills: logs, crash reports, reproduction steps, severity, and root cause hypotheses

• Stock option plan — four-year vesting with a 25% cliff after the first year

• Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 13:00 to 19:00 Manila time (UTC+8)

Health and time off

• Medical insurance support for you and your family through co-funding or reimbursement, depending on your location and subject to policy limits

• Access to an internal mental health support specialist
