Mobile QA Engineer

Join us as a Mobile QA Engineer and play a vital role in shaping quality processes for innovative fintech mobile applications. At Kindgeek, you'll work on a regulated Payments Institution product — establishing QA practices from the ground up, building solid test documentation, and ensuring seamless performance across iOS and Android platforms. With our supportive team, room for professional growth, and a real opportunity to make a lasting impact, this is a role where your experience and initiative will be seen and valued.

As a Mobile QA Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Owning and building QA processes and documentation from scratch — the team currently relies on developers for testing, so you'll be the driving force for quality culture;
• Creating risk-based test strategies, plans, traceability matrices, and test cases using best practices;
• Running functional, regression, exploratory, upgrade, and smoke testing across multiple device configurations (real and virtual devices, various OS versions, locales, orientations);
• Performing backend and integration testing using Postman, Swagger, and log inspection (Sentry, Firebase) to validate data integrity;
• Monitoring and validating network traffic using Charles Proxy or Proxyman to compare API contracts and responses;
• Filing detailed defect reports in Jira and collaborating with developers on triage and resolution;
• Supporting release readiness sign-off, preparing test-run summaries, and contributing to go/no-go decisions.

We're looking for a Mobile QA Engineer who has:

• 5+ years of experience in QA overall;
• 2–3 years of focused mobile QA experience on iOS and/or Android applications (native or cross-platform, e.g. Flutter);
• A portfolio that demonstrates clear mobile-focused projects — candidates with purely mixed web+mobile experience will need to demonstrate deep mobile specialisation;
• Strong knowledge of test documentation: test plans, traceability matrices, test cases, and checklists;
• Proficiency in Charles Proxy or Proxyman for network traffic sniffing and API validation — this is mandatory;
• Experience in API testing with Postman and ability to read Swagger/OpenAPI specs;
• Hands-on experience with Firebase and Sentry for logging and monitoring;
• Familiarity with GitLab workflows, including merge requests, pipelines, and CI/CD processes;
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills for cross-functional collaboration;
• A process-oriented mindset with a drive to organise, document, and continuously improve QA practices.

Will be a plus:

• Experience in Fintech, Trading, Banking, or Payments domains;
• Background in backend/API testing, especially with Python services;
• Previous experience in a QA lead, management, or analyst role — anyone who has built QA processes or led quality initiatives.

A regulated Payments Institution specialising in Acquiring, Issuing and Mobile Payments with a licence granted by the Central Bank of Cyprus.

The QA Engineer will initially focus on the banking mobile app (cards and banking), with potential to expand into Mobile SDK coverage. The team consists of iOS and Android developers plus a backend engineer — you'll be the first dedicated QA professional on the team.
