Deliver seamless, high-quality digital experiences that build customer trust and satisfaction.

As a Senior Quality Engineer, you’ll contribute to the delivery of a cabin crew-facing application used during flight, where quality engineering is essential to ensuring a seamless experience in complex, real-world conditions. From offline-first functionality to intermittent connectivity and secure device management, you’ll help shape robust testing strategies that ensure the app performs reliably when it matters most.

You’ll work closely within a cross-functional product team to design, implement and continuously improve test approaches, while contributing to automation and ensuring quality is embedded throughout the development lifecycle.

• Experience testing with iOS Mobile Device Management (MDM) devices
• Experience performing both manual testing and contributing to automation efforts where required
• Strong capability in API testing, including validating RESTful services and end‑to‑end integrations
• Familiarity with tools such as Postman, Swagger, Charles or Proxyman
• Experience testing applications in offline or low‑connectivity environments
• Proficiency using Xcode for debugging, log analysis, and basic app investigation
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
• Understanding of mobile application architecture and backend integrations
• Ability to design and execute test cases, including functional, regression, and exploratory testing
• Strong defect investigation and reporting skills, with attention to detail
• Experience working collaboratively with engineers, product managers, and designers in cross‑functional teams
• Demonstrated ability to promote quality best practices
• Exposure to mobile test automation frameworks is beneficial but not essential
