Responsibilities

• Work directly with our Head of QA and Senior QE, splitting time between manual test execution and automation development across Playwright (web) and Maestro (mobile), while helping protect compliance-critical flows.
• Design and execute functional, regression, integration, API, and end-to-end test cases across web and mobile.
• Validate dual-currency mechanics for accuracy, consistency, and edge-case handling.
• Perform exploratory testing to surface issues scripted tests and automation miss.
• Develop and maintain automated tests using Playwright (web/API) and contribute to Maestro coverage for iOS.
• Perform API testing using Postman, aligned to our Qase test management workflow.
• Log clear, actionable bugs in Linear with repro steps, severity, and supporting evidence.

• Experience testing both web and mobile applications.
• Experience with test case management tools (Qase, TestRail, or similar) and defect trackers (Linear, Jira).
• Strong written communication for bug reports and test evidence relied on by non-QA stakeholders.
• Prior QA experience in gaming, iGaming, or sweepstakes products.
• Experience testing in a regulated or compliance-heavy environment (KYC, geolocation/GeoComply, payments).
• Exposure to mobile automation frameworks (Maestro, Appium).
• Familiarity with feature-flagged rollouts and A/B or phased release testing.

Benefits
