• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Design, and Release teams to ensure quality standards are met prior to release
• Participate in sprint planning, design reviews, and backlog grooming to provide early quality feedback
• Validate platform stability across different devices, OS versions, locales, and user scenarios
• Ensure compliance with security, performance, accessibility, and reliability standards
• Support release readiness activities including smoke testing, release sign-offs, and post-release validation
• Analyze production issues and partner with engineering teams to prevent regressions
• Continuously improve QA processes, tools, and best practices across the mobile platform

Requirements

• Strong experience testing mobile applications on iOS and Android platforms

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development methodologies
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work across multiple engineering and product teams
• Proven ability to influence quality outcomes without direct ownership of feature development
• Comfortable documenting and clearly articulating quality risks and release readiness
• Strong ownership mindset with a focus on customer impact

Nice to Have

• Experience working on large-scale consumer mobile applications
• Experience supporting platform or shared-services teams
