Senior QA Engineer

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer with deep experience in testing game mechanics and gamified experiences to help ensure our mobile and web platforms deliver seamless, bug-free fun. This is not your typical QA rolewere building behavior-driven experiences, real-time reward logic, and delightful game loops. You will own the quality narrative for our games, loyalty systems, and user-facing experiences. If youve tested mobile games, incentive platforms, or highly interactive applications before, this is your playground.

Key Responsibilities

• Own QA strategy for all Playfully Rewards features involving point systems, games, spins, challenges, and tiers
• Define, implement, and maintain test cases for gamified user journeys, loyalty rewards, and real-time feedback loops
• Work alongside developers, designers, and product managers to ensure pixel-perfect UI/UX and smooth gameplay logic
• Conduct manual exploratory testing for edge cases and gameplay variability
• Build or maintain automated UI & API tests using frameworks like Cypress, Playwright, Appium, or Detox
• Collaborate with mobile and backend teams to create test plans for event-driven architecture and API reliability
• Monitor releases using tools like Crashlytics, TestRail, Sentry, or similar
• Assist in A/B testing validation, ensuring variants function correctly and dont impact platform stability
• Test across devices, platforms (iOS/Android/Web), screen sizes, and network conditions
• Identify regressions early and help create post-mortem reports for critical bugs

Must-Have Qualifications:

• 7+ years of QA experience, with at least 3 years in game or gamified app testing
• Expertise in mobile game QA, reward systems, interactive animations, and behavioral triggers
• Strong grasp of QA methodologies (manual + automated) and bug life cycle
• Experience with tools like Jira, TestRail, Postman, Charles Proxy, and Firebase
• Familiarity with mobile gestures, state-based UI flows, and error state handling
• Ability to design test plans that account for randomness, repeatability, and edge cases
• Passion for improving product quality, not just identifying bugs
• Strong communicator and team player, with attention to detail and curiosity to explore

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with testing spin-to-win, challenge-based, or point-earning mechanics
• Exposure to analytics testing, including events validation (Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA)
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test coverage metrics, and test automation frameworks
• Knowledge of security testing for rewards (fraud prevention, multiple redemption edge cases)
• Prior experience in startups or agile product teams where iteration speed is high

What Success Looks Like (First 36 Months)

• QA coverage across 100% of user-facing reward features
• Zero crashes or critical bugs in released game flows
• Reduction in production regressions and faster turnaround in test validation
• Tight feedback loop with development and design for continuous quality improvement

How We Work

• Fast-paced, async-friendly, and low-meeting culture
• We ship fast, test thoroughly, and fix quickly.
