Are you an iOS QA Engineer who takes pride in the success of the applications you work on? Do you enjoy seeing your apps featured with fantastic ratings on the App Store, but strive to keep pushing for more?

We are looking for an iOS QA Engineer to join our Customer Experience team who can help further the success of our iPhone and iPad app. The app has more than 8M active users worldwide, an average app store review of 5 stars, is written in the latest version of Swift, and has over 99.91% crash-free sessions.

What you'll be doing

• Testing new features of our iOS shopping app, from the requirements stage through to production
• Collaborating closely with developers, UX/UI designers, Product Owners and other QAs
• Participating in stand ups, planning sessions and retrospectives
• Contributing to writing acceptance criteria
• Raising and triaging bugs
• Writing and maintaining automated tests in XCUITest
• Helping us keep our Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline stable, fast and reliable
• Participating in frequent releases and driving the streamlining and automation of all release-related activities
• Proactively monitoring the current production versions of the app using tools like Crashlytics, New Relic and iTunes Connect and reporting any identified issues
