What challenge awaits you?

As the Embedded QA Engineer in the Mobile SDK Team, you will ensure the quality of our product. Our engineering teams are organized around various business features and sub-domains of our complex product. 

Your starting salary will be 3000 € per month (for the expected seniority level P3), including stock options and other benefits. Whether you're working from one of our Central Europe offices or from home on a full-time basis, you will be part of the Engineering Team.

You will closely work with the Mobile SDK Team, managing test scenarios and test suites, executing them, and automating them where possible. You will influence the QA strategy for the team by defining best practices and quality standards. Over time, you will also engage with the Web Experience Team, responsible for the JS SDK for web browsers and the WebXP API, as these areas are closely related to Mobile SDKs.

This enables features such as In-App Messaging, Push Notifications, Event Tracking, and more. The Mobile SDK Team’s tech stack includes Java/Kotlin for Android, Swift/Objective-C for iOS, JavaScript/TypeScript for React Native, and Dart for Flutter. Their workflow incorporates automated testing pipelines alongside mobile-focused CI/CD infrastructure for deployment and release management. While familiarity with all mentioned technologies is not expected, experience in developing libraries (SDKs) and/or mobile applications would be beneficial.

Our teams are designed with a product mindset, where every member values quality. We seek an individual who can accelerate this transition and champion QA.
