Why This Role Exists
To lead release quality, prevent production failures, and build a disciplined QA culture.
Quality at Speed Radio is not reactive. It is engineered into the release process.
This is not just a tester role.
This is a quality leadership role.
You will protect releases, mentor junior QA engineers, and enforce structured testing processes across mobile builds.
Core Responsibilities:
Mobile Quality Leadership
- Own end-to-end QA for Android and iOS releases
- Define release readiness criteria and quality gates
- Create structured mobile testing strategies for every sprint
- Drive accountability for zero critical defects in production
Functional, Regression & Exploratory Testing
- Lead structured functional and regression testing cycles
- Design high-coverage test scenarios including edge cases
- Validate UI behavior, state management, network handling, and performance
- Ensure compatibility across OS versions, devices, and screen sizes
Bug Handling & Risk Management
- Evaluate severity vs impact before release
- Make go / no-go release recommendations
- Escalate risks proactively
- Support hotfix validation and emergency releases
- Ensure root cause analysis for major defects
API & Backend Validation
- Validate APIs using Postman or similar tools
- Test negative scenarios (invalid tokens, missing payloads, error handling)
- Ensure frontend-backend integration stability
Team Leadership & Mentorship
- Lead and mentor junior QA engineers
- Review test cases and bug reports for clarity and completeness
- Enforce documentation standards and testing discipline
- Assign modules and ensure ownership within the QA team
- Improve QA velocity and quality metrics
Automation & Process Improvement
- Identify automation opportunities in regression flows
- Collaborate with engineering on automation strategy
- Improve release reliability and testing efficiency
Quality Expectations
- No critical defects should reach production
- No release moves without QA sign-off
- No poorly documented bugs
- No regression missed due to lack of structure
What This Role Is Not
- Not a passive manual tester
- Not someone who waits for instructions
- Not someone who only executes pre-written test cases
This role requires leadership, judgment, and ownership.
Ideal Profile
- 5+ years of QA experience with strong mobile testing exposure
- Experience leading or mentoring QA teams
- Hands-on Android and iOS testing experience
- Strong understanding of SDLC and defect lifecycle
- Experience in fast-paced or startup environments preferred
- Ability to independently make release decisions
