App QA Tester

Role overview

This mobile App QA Tester role focuses on manually exercising a privacy-first encrypted vault for personal photos and videos across iOS and Android devices. The tester hunts for UX friction, regression bugs, and privacy-adjacent edge cases before releases reach end users, treating security, reliability, and user trust as core product features rather than afterthoughts. The position is remote-friendly and hires globally with an async-first collaboration style across time zones.

Responsibilities

- Execute structured test plans across iOS and Android builds covering core vault, camera, backup, and authentication flows - Log reproducible bugs with attached videos, logs, and severity ratings in the team's issue tracker - Perform exploratory testing on new features, localized builds, and operating system version betas - Verify fixes in staging before signing off on production release candidates - Maintain a device lab matrix covering different OS versions, screen sizes, and low-storage scenarios

Requirements

- Hands-on mobile QA experience with sharp attention to detail - Ability to write clear bug reports that engineers can act on without a follow-up meeting - Familiarity with TestFlight, Google Play internal testing, or similar beta distribution channels - Genuine curiosity about encryption, app permissions, and offline behavior on mobile devices
