About the role
You'll own quality across our mobile apps, web applications and backend services for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). You'll work directly with engineers and product managers to ship features that businesses depend on to run their operations every day.
What you'll do

• Work directly with Developers and Product Managers across the release cycle, testing features before they reach customers making real financial decisions.

• Test the business mobile app and its underlying APIs, catching issues across browsers, devices, and environments.

• Write and maintain detailed test cases, and help the team lay the groundwork for automated testing.

What you'll own

• Design, execute, and maintain manual test cases for the business mobile app.

• Run end-to-end and regression testing across releases and product updates.

• Test APIs directly (e.g. via Postman) and validate behavior beyond the UI.

• Debug issues using browser DevTools and communicate findings clearly to developers.

• Cover testing across browsers and devices to catch environment-specific bugs.

• Write and maintain automated tests in Kotlin as coverage expands.

• Contribute to integrating tests into CI/CD workflows as the team builds toward automation.
  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

What we offer
Ownership and flexibility

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

• Fully remote work with core collaboration hours from 12:00 to 19:00 Manila time (UTC+8)

• Company-provided tools and equipment

Health and time off

• Medical insurance for you and your family, starting day one

• Access to an internal mental health support specialist

• 22 vacation days, Philippine public holidays, and 15 sick days

Growth and team experience
