Senior QA Engineer, Automation & Release

ExpiWell, LLC · India

You will own quality for ExpiWell across our web app, our iOS and Android apps, and the API behind them. This is a senior, hands-on role with real authority: you decide when a release is ready, you build and run the automated suites that back that decision, and you tell us where the product should work better. We are looking for a critical thinker who reasons from evidence, writes clearly, and is comfortable being the person the team looks to before anything ships.

What you'll do

• Be the release gatekeeper: define the pre-release checklist, run it, and give or withhold sign-off for every web, iOS, and Android release
• Own and extend our Playwright end-to-end suites for the web app, and make them run on every promotion and nightly so a green run means something
• Build mobile automation for the iOS and Android apps with Appium, running on real devices, and drive the groundwork it needs with the developers
• Build and maintain Postman collections for our API, with environments for each region, and run them automatically in the pipeline
• Test the participant experience end to end on real phones: notifications, scheduled surveys, offline behaviour, wearable sync, and syncing back to the dashboard
• Review the product as a user would and write clear UX and workflow recommendations with evidence, mockups where useful, and a proposed fix
• Keep suites fast, stable, and trustworthy; hunt down flaky tests rather than tolerating them, and report on coverage, readiness, and risk
• Mentor the manual QA tester, decide what is automated and what stays manual, and set the standard for bug reports and test plans

What we're looking for

• 6–7 years in software QA, with at least 4 years building test automation from the ground up
• Strong TypeScript or JavaScript, since our suites are code that developers read and review
• Deep, hands-on experience with Playwright for web applications
• Hands-on experience with Appium for native iOS and Android apps, including real-device testing
• Confident API testing in Postman: collections, environments, authentication flows, and automated runs
• Experience designing maintainable frameworks: page objects, reusable helpers, clean test-data handling
• Track record of running automation inside a continuous integration pipeline, and comfortable with version control and code review
• A critical thinker who reasons from evidence, questions assumptions, and can explain a quality risk to engineers and founders alike
• Professional-level English, written and spoken, and the ability to work independently across time zones

Nice to have

• Selenium experience, if your Playwright experience is more recent
• Experience with cloud device farms such as BrowserStack for mobile testing
• Accessibility testing (WCAG) and performance or load testing exposure
• Ability to read Swift or Kotlin well enough to follow a mobile bug to its cause
• Experience with products that handle sensitive or regulated data
• Previous experience mentoring or leading QA engineers

Must-have setup

• A home office
• An internet connection of at least 100 Mbps
• iOS and Android phones, for testing on real devices

Preferred setup

• A MacBook Pro, M1 or later
• Access to Apple Watch and Fitbit wearables
