Job description

About Us

At Basis, we’re not just building a company — we’re building the future. We’re redesigning the electrical systems that power our homes to fight climate change, reduce household costs, and create a better future for generations to come. That means rethinking everything, not just what we build, but how we build it.

To do this, we need incredible people. People who are bold, creative, sharp, and thoughtful. People who care. People who move fast and think differently. That’s where you come in.

The Role

We’re looking for a Mobile Test Engineer to join our team on a three-month contract as either a fixed-term or independent contractor. You’ll play a key role in ensuring our Android and iOS apps deliver a seamless and reliable experience for our customers. Working closely with our growing development and testing teams, you’ll help bring to market a complex IoT ecosystem — where physical products interface with cloud-connected systems to deliver intelligent, connected experiences.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

• Execute manual and automated testing on Android and iOS mobile apps
• Collaborate with developers to report, track, and communicate test findings
• Contribute to decisions on what should be automated versus manually tested
• Build and maintain automated mobile test suites
• Develop a strong understanding of system architecture to inform test strategy
• Champion quality assurance best practices and critical thinking within the team
• Help refine user stories to ensure testability and clear acceptance criteria

About You

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you have the following skills/or traits:

• 8+ years’ experience in manual and automated testing
• Experience testing on both Android and iOS platforms
• Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks
• Background in testing hardware–mobile app integrations
• Strong API and UI testing skills
• Organised, collaborative, and detail-oriented, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Research shows that while men apply for jobs when they meet ~ 60% of the job criteria, women and other marginalised groups tend to apply only when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but are not sure you check every box, we still want to hear from you

Let's Talk!

We’d love to hear from you! No need to submit a cover letter - just click 'apply' to answer a few short questions of ours (we find this gives us more insight) and attach your CV.
