QA Test Engineer: Mobile (Android/iOS) & Backend Testing

Experience Level: 4–6 years

Location: Bangalore Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on QA Test Engineer who owns quality across our Android and iOS apps and the backend services behind them. You'll be comfortable moving between Android Studio, Xcode, Postman, and Kibana to catch issues and trace them back to their root cause.

What You'll Do

Mobile Testing (Android & iOS)

• Perform end-to-end functional, regression, and UI testing on native Android and iOS apps.
• Use Android Studio (Logcat, Layout Inspector, Profiler) to debug crashes, memory issues, and rendering problems across devices and OS versions.
• Use Xcode / Instruments for equivalent iOS debugging and crash log analysis.
• Test key mobile edge cases: network interruptions, background/foreground transitions, notifications, permissions, and deep links.

API & Backend Testing

• Design, execute, and automate API test suites using Postman and Newman, including CI-integrated collection runs.
• Validate backend behavior for correctness, error handling, and security (auth, input validation, rate limiting).
• Write SQL queries to verify data integrity and backend logic.

Log Monitoring & Root-Cause Analysis

• Use the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to search and correlate error logs across mobile crashes, APIs, and backend services.
• Build dashboards/saved searches in Kibana to spot error patterns during regression and release cycles.
• Trace bugs from symptom to root cause, connecting app behavior to backend logs and database state.

Collaboration

• Work with developers, product managers, and DevOps to log, prioritize, and track defects to resolution.
• Write clear bug reports with device/OS info, API payloads, and relevant log excerpts.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of professional software testing experience.
• Mobile automation frameworks (Appium (Mandatory), Espresso, XCUITest).
• Mobile testing (must-have): hands-on experience testing native or hybrid Android and iOS apps, with comfort using Android Studio and Xcode.
• API testing: strong expertise with Postman and Newman.
• Log analysis: working proficiency with the ELK Stack.
• Database skills: ability to write SQL queries for backend testing.
• Strong analytical mindset and clear communication skills.

Nice to Have

• AWS cloud experience.
• CI/CD exposure (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Fastlane).
• ISTQB Foundation Level certification.
