Why Appodeal?

At Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission: Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses!

We take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals.

• Enjoying the Journey: We believe in having fun while working toward our goals.

This role combines:

• technical QA,
• monetization validation,
• SDK and integration troubleshooting,
• onboarding support,
• and operational process improvement.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technically strong, operationally reliable, and comfortable independently validating builds and identifying risks before launch or testing.

This is not a passive/manual QA role — we are looking for someone who can proactively improve quality standards, identify technical risks early, and help scale QA operations efficiently.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical QA & Build Validation
• Review builds before CPI, retention, or monetization testing
• Run QA on gameplay, onboarding, progression, ads, paywalls, analytics, and monetization flows
• Identify crashes, softlocks, blockers, technical inconsistencies, and UX issues
• Ensure builds meet internal launch and testing readiness standards
• SDK & Integration Validation
• Support SDK integration verification and troubleshooting
• Validate monetization, attribution, analytics, and event setup
• Investigate technical integration issues and platform-specific problems
• Collaborate with Product Engineer and partner studios during onboarding
• Monetization & Analytics Validation
• Validate rewarded ads, interstitials, banners, IAPs, subscriptions, and paywalls
• Verify monetization event firing and analytics accuracy
• Support monetization testing and experiment validation
• Ensure attribution and mediation systems function correctly before launch

Pre-Test & Release Readiness:

• Play and review games before testing approval
• Evaluate technical stability, usability, retention-critical flows, and overall readiness
• Identify risks that could negatively impact UA, monetization, or retention test performance
• Collaborate with Product, QA, and Publishing teams on go/no-go decisions
• QA Operations & Documentation
• Maintain QA checklists, validation workflows, and testing documentation
• Improve bug reporting standards and onboarding QA processes
• Maintain integration and testing best-practice documentation
• Contribute to improving QA standards and operational efficiency across the team

Requirements:

Must-Have:

• 4+ years of experience in QA Engineering, Technical QA, Mobile QA, or similar technical validation roles
• Strong experience testing mobile apps or mobile games in production environments
• Experience validating SDK integrations, monetization systems, analytics events, and attribution flows
• Strong debugging and investigation skills, including logs, device testing, reproduction flows, and build validation
• Experience working with tools such as Jira, Firebase, TestFlight, Android Studio, Xcode, Unity, Charles Proxy, or similar
• Strong understanding of mobile release/testing workflows
• Ability to independently identify technical risks and launch blockers
• Strong attention to detail and structured documentation skills
• Comfortable collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, QA, and Publishing teams
• Advanced English communication skills (written and spoken) are mandatory
• Comfortable working independently in fast-moving and ambiguous environments

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience working with ad monetization and mediation platforms
• Experience with mobile game publishing or live operations
• Experience validating retention and monetization experiments
• Familiarity with attribution and analytics platforms
• Experience improving QA operations, workflows, or documentation standards
• Experience supporting partner onboarding processes
• Basic scripting, automation, or AI-assisted QA workflows are a plus
