About Us
Scrambly
is one of the fastest-growing adtech startups in the world, featured in the AppsFlyer Performance Index and Singular ROI Index in just 3.5 years.
We’re growing 250%+ YoY across revenue, team, product, and technology — fully bootstrapped and profitable.
We’re building the future of app discovery: a reward-powered alternative to the App Store and Google Play. Our loyalty-driven ecosystem connects millions of users with the world’s top apps and delivers unmatched, ROI-focused growth for mobile advertisers.
Our mission is to build a true alternative to traditional app stores — fueled by rewards and data — and create a new, performance-first growth engine for mobile app advertisers.
About the Role
We are looking for a strong
Senior Automation QA Engineer
to take full ownership of automation quality at Scrambly — a high-traffic B2C platform serving millions of users across web and mobile (iOS & Android).
You will define and drive the automation quality strategy, expand mobile coverage to iOS, and be the person who prevents issues from reaching production — not the one who finds them after the fact.
Quality at Scrambly directly impacts revenue, retention, and user trust. You will be expected to challenge requirements early, identify risks before they become incidents, and work closely with the manual QA team and engineering.
Key Responsibilities
Ownership & Strategy
Take full ownership of the existing E2E automation framework (Playwright + WebdriverIO/Appium) from day one
Define and drive the quality strategy across web and mobile platforms
Identify coverage gaps, prioritise test work, and align quality efforts with product releases
Be the voice of quality in planning — challenge requirements, surface edge cases, and push for testability
Mobile Automation
Own the Android mobile test suite (WebdriverIO + Appium + uiautomator2) — maintain, extend, and improve reliability
Expand iOS automation coverage, building on work already in progress
Ensure cross-platform parity across our iOS and Android apps
Web & API Automation
Maintain and extend the Playwright web test suite (Chromium + Mobile Safari)
Own API-level test coverage and webhook validation flows
Work with real QA/Stage environments backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and Firebase
CI/CD & Infrastructure
Own the CI/CD pipelines for automated test runs (self-hosted runners and nightly scheduling)
Improve test reliability, parallelisation, and reporting (Playwright HTML + Allure)
Collaborate with DevOps on environment stability and infrastructure access
Cross-functional Collaboration
Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Design to embed quality early in the development cycle
Translate product requirements into robust test coverage with a clear risk focus
Communicate clearly about automation coverage, gaps, and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Requirements
Experience:
5+ years in QA automation, with a focus on mobile automation
Mobile:
Strong hands-on experience with Appium (Android). Proven experience or solid exposure to iOS automation (Appium on iOS or XCUITest)
Web:
Proficiency with Playwright or a comparable modern E2E framework
Languages:
TypeScript/JavaScript — you will be writing production-quality test code, not just scripts
API & Backend:
Comfortable with API testing, direct database interaction (PostgreSQL), and working with auth flows (Firebase or similar)
CI/CD:
Experience owning and maintaining GitHub Actions (or comparable) pipelines for automated test execution
Mindset
: You think in terms of risk, not test cases. You join planning sessions, not just sprint reviews
English:
Upper-Intermediate or higher (B2+). You'll communicate directly with product and engineering in English
Nice to Have
Experience testing high-traffic consumer products (millions of active users)
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (GCP)
Experience with performance testing or load testing at scale
Prior experience as the sole AQA on a product; you know what it means to own quality end-to-end without a team
Background in fintech, gaming, or marketplace products where business logic complexity is high
What We Offer
Full ownership of automation quality on a platform used by millions of users — your work has immediate, measurable impact
A mature automation codebase to inherit and evolve, not build from scratch on day one
A fast-moving environment where quality improvements translate directly into user experience and revenue
A culture of technical rigour: code reviews, early involvement in feature design, and the expectation that your voice shapes how we build
Full-time & fully remote position
15 days of paid vacation
5 days of paid days off
5 days of paid sick leave
Maternity/Paternity leave
National holidays based on your country of stay
