We are looking for a Senior Manual QA Engineer (Desktop macOS) to join our PDF Expert team. You’ll help ensure the quality and reliability of a product used by millions of people, working closely with developers and the product team to test new features and improve the overall user experience.
What you'll do:
- Own end-to-end QA for PDF Expert iOS/Mac/Web releases - plan and run release testing so every version ships on time, bug-free in covered scenarios.
- Build and maintain test plans, test runs, and test cases in QA Sphere covering the app's key user flows, keeping them current to avoid hotfixes.
- Drive post-release quality - monitor customer issues (Helpspot) and crashes (AppCenter), triage and close resolutions in Jira.
- Ensure PDF Expert's key dependencies - pdfexpert.com and the checkout flow - work as expected for customers.
- Help maintain the quality bar for AI-powered features in the app.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering across planning, grooming, and design reviews, surfacing risks early and contributing to strategy.
- Drive continuous improvement of QA processes by reviewing teammates' test cases/runs and proposing improvements.
- 2+ years of hands-on manual QA experience, ideally with native mobile/desktop apps (iOS/macOS).
- Strong test design skills - writing clear test plans, test cases, and test runs (experience with QA Sphere or similar tools is a plus).
- Solid grounding in QA fundamentals: functional, UI/UX, regression, and localization testing.
- Proven experience owning release testing and sign-off before shipping to customers.
- Practical experience with Jira (or similar) for tracking, prioritizing, and closing bugs.
- Strong attention to detail combined with the ability to estimate testing effort accurately.
- English at B2 level or higher, for clear collaboration with Product, Design, and Dev.
Would be a plus:
- Experience testing subscription, checkout, or in-app purchase flows, ideally with Stripe or PayPal.
- Familiarity with crash-reporting/analytics tools (e.g., Firebase) and customer support platforms (e.g., Helpspot).
- Basic understanding of security and privacy testing principles.
- Exposure to testing AI-powered features or LLM-based functionality.
- Familiarity with Figma or similar tools for reviewing designs.
- Experience testing the same product across multiple platforms (iOS, macOS, Web).
- Experience reviewing or mentoring on test cases/test runs written by other QA engineers.
