Job description

Macadam is a movement powered by over 14 million users who walk every day with us. We’re here to make walking more rewarding, engaging, and consistent - not just a habit, but something people genuinely enjoy.

Rooted in thoughtful design, our approach helps people stick with healthier routines by making them feel simple, motivating, and fun. As we grow, we’re focused on deepening our impact: supporting our community with smarter tools, richer experiences, and more reasons to keep moving.

If you’re passionate about building products that improve lives at scale, we’d love to meet you.

THE ROLE

Working at Macadam as our QA Engineer, you will be the technical architect of our automated testing suites. Your mission is to bridge the gap between manual QA and deployment by building a robust automation layer for our React Native app and our TypeScript backend. You will play a key role in maintaining our rapid release cycle while safeguarding the user experience for millions.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Mobile Automation (Maestro): Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end (E2E) automated test flows for our React Native application using Maestro.
• Backend Testing (TypeScript): Develop and manage automated API integration tests using TypeScript to ensure the stability of our RESTful services.
• CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated suites into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure every pull request is validated before hitting production.
• Test Strategy & Execution: Define which features require automation vs. manual exploration, focusing on high-impact regression and smoke tests.
• Technical Collaboration: Partner with Software Engineers to improve app testability (e.g., optimizing test, mocking data) and participate in technical design reviews.
• Monitoring & Quality Reporting: Analyze test results, investigate failures, and provide clear, actionable feedback to the product and engineering teams.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Experience: 3+ years in QA Engineering with a heavy focus on Automation.
• Mobile Expertise: Strong experience testing React Native apps. Hands-on experience with Maestro is highly preferred (or deep expertise in Appium/Detox and a desire to master Maestro).
• Backend Proficiency: Solid coding skills in TypeScript and extensive experience testing REST APIs.
• Tooling: Familiarity with modern CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, etc.) and bug tracking systems.
• Fast-Paced Mindset: Comfortable in a high-growth startup environment where speed and quality must coexist.
• Communication: Fluent in English; you are clear, concise, and proactive in identifying potential bottlenecks.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• An instrumental role in a high-visibility consumer app with millions of users.
• Direct influence on the product and user experience.
• A supportive, talented, and passionate international team.
• Offices in the heart of Barcelona.
• Wellness allowance (powered by Urban Sports).
• Hybrid working culture with international flexibility.
• Friday Team lunch.
• Company events and offsites.

Macadam is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a diverse and inclusive team.
