They’re looking for a Mobile QA Engineer for an initial 12-month fixed-term contract. You’ll be part of a senior, Melbourne-based mobile team covering native iOS, native Android and the backend-for-frontend layer. The client has millions of customers on its existing mobile apps.

• Tracking defect rates every sprint and working with engineers to bring them down
• Testing OS, device, screen-size and app-store compatibility as iOS and Android versions move
• Supporting defect investigation and post-release production validation
• Working with AI-native testing tools and agentic workflows (e.g. Claude Code) to automate more routine test work each sprint
• Taking part in sprint ceremonies and keeping test documentation current

What you’ll bring

• Solid experience in mobile QA on native iOS and Android apps at enterprise or consumer scale
• Hands-on test automation experience, e.g. XCTest/XCUITest, Espresso, Appium or similar
• API testing and CI/CD pipeline integration experience
• Strong exploratory testing instincts and clear defect reporting
• Comfortable in an agile team on a fixed sprint and release cadence
• Interest in or exposure to AI-assisted testing and engineering tools
• Based in Melbourne with full working rights
