Platform QA Chapter Lead

As Platform QA Chapter Lead on the Platform side at Just Play, you’ll lead and scale quality assurance for our core app experience - the foundation that powers our games, live operations, and player rewards. Working closely with Engineering, you’ll ensure the platform runs seamlessly across devices, regions, and releases, setting the standard for quality, reliability, and user experience.

You'll split your time between hands‑on QA work and leading the QA engineers in the QA chapter: helping them grow in their craft, spreading good practice, and raising the bar for quality across the teams you work with. A key part of this role will be driving smarter, more scalable testing approaches, including AI‑driven testing and automation.

• Own the full QA lifecycle for Just Play’s app and platform features - from test planning and execution to reporting and defect management.
• Foster a strong quality culture across teams by embedding QA best practices early and tying quality goals to product velocity and platform reliability.
• Drive innovation through AI-driven testing and predictive approaches to identify risks earlier, improve coverage, and reduce manual effort.
• Partner with development, design, and product teams to integrate QA best practices early in the release cycle.
• Design and maintain comprehensive test plans and automated suites for key user flows (login, payments, live events, notifications, etc.).
• Lead, mentor, and scale the QA team - setting up clear processes, code quality standards, and testing frameworks.
• Implement automation and regression testing strategies using tools such as Maestro, Espresso, XCTest, Appium, or similar frameworks.
• Use contract testing (e.g., Pact) to validate backend and service integrations.
• Apply performance and reliability testing across mobile platforms to ensure smooth user experiences.

• 5+ years of experience in QA for mobile apps or platforms, including at least 2 years leading teams.
• Proven ability to design scalable QA processes in fast‑paced, development‑heavy environments.
• Strong experience with automation frameworks, regression testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands‑on experience with mobile debugging tools (Android Studio, Xcode) and network analysis tools like Charles.
• Strong understanding of how to build a quality‑first mindset across engineering and product teams.
• Interest in or experience with AI-assisted testing and new QA technologies.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and a user‑first mindset.
• Familiarity with project and documentation tools such as Jira and Notion.
