The Role

Working as part of our product delivery teams, you will perform both functional and non-functional testing of our mobile applications, ensuring that they perform as expected and they meet our high standards. We are looking for someone who will advocate for testing throughout the lifecycle of the product and who takes pride in ensuring we are releasing good quality software that helps our customers.

You’ll work with our engineers in this role to enhance our test-driven development approach to building mobile applications. We aim for a very high level of test automation across our applications so we can deploy to production many times a day. Our engineers are responsible for understanding the desired behaviour of the code they are writing and testing.

As a mobile product tester, you will be expected to use your initiative to test and validate features, functional controls, and logic flows, as well as plan and execute regression testing. You are looking for the missed edge cases, verifying behaviour on a variety of devices and form factors, and looking for consistency issues between our platforms. You’ll monitor and drive improvements, and communicate identified risks or issues to the wider team.

Requirements

What we would like from you:

• An experienced tester who can work under their initiative, autonomously, collaborating with all areas of the bank including engineers, product designers, and product owners
• 2+ years of experience testing mobile applications. We’d love someone with Android experience, to balance out our current team.
• Comfortable conducting exploratory testing on pre-release builds.
• Experience automating E2E user journeys – ideally with mobile applications

• Good understanding of user experience best practices and UX testing
