QA Engineer (React Native/Node.js)

MaxRewards helps 800K+ members manage their credit cards and maximize their rewards. We're an early-stage fintech startup with strong growth momentum and a lean, fast-moving engineering team.

You'll own quality across our React Native mobile app and Node.js backend—manually testing complex workflows, reviewing PRs, managing releases, and writing changelogs. You will report to a Staff Engineer and will be the primary QA voice on the team.

We ship fast. Features go from spec to production in days. You'll be expected to move quickly without cutting corners, context-switch constantly, and contribute meaningfully within your first two weeks.

• Review PRs with a risk-based lens—deep scrutiny on critical workflows like account syncing and payments and lighter touch on UI and niche functionality changes

• Compile, run, and debug applications locally using emulators and simulators

• Execute manual testing for new features, bug fixes, and improvements across iOS, Android, browser extensions, and backend APIs

• Document bugs with clear reproduction steps and severity assessments, collecting device and crash logs using console output, Android Debug Bridge (ADB), and Xcode

• Extensively leverage AI tools to accelerate test case generation and edge case discovery

• Own the release process: coordinate builds, manage app store submissions, and communicate go/no-go

• Write and maintain changelogs, translating technical changes into clear member-facing language

• Contribute to automated testing as you grow in the role

• 1–3 years of QA experience with strong manual testing fundamentals

• Experience testing mobile apps (iOS and Android) and REST APIs, including proficiency with local simulators/emulators and debugging tools like ADB and Xcode

• Instinctive risk judgment—you know which changes need scrutiny without being told

• Exceptional attention to detail—you catch what engineers miss

• Basic JavaScript/TypeScript understanding

• Interest in personal finance or credit card optimization

• Experience owning or coordinating app release processes

• React Native/Expo experience

• Exposure to AI testing tools

• Automation framework experience

• Early-stage startup background

• You test every PR with the same level of scrutiny regardless of risk

• You need someone else to identify what's high-risk

• You need days to write a bug report or process to do your best work

• You're not comfortable being the only QA voice in the room

• $75K–$95K base salary + 0.1%–0.2% equity

• Up to 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with 100% match up to 6% (after 1 year)

• Clear growth path to Senior QA Engineer

If you catch what others miss and move fast without cutting corners—we'd love to hear from you.
