Position Summary

As a QA Engineer, you will ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of PRA’s mobile and web applications by planning and executing test strategies across the software development lifecycle. You will work within agile squads, collaborate closely with Developers, Product, and Design, and help integrate robust testing into our CI/CD pipelines to deliver high‑quality releases on time.

• Plan and execute testing for web and mobile: create and run test plans, test cases and test charters covering functional, regression, exploratory and cross‑browser/device scenarios (iOS/Android, responsive web).
• Automation: design, implement and maintain automated tests for web (e.g., Selenium) and mobile (e.g., Appium, Espresso/XCUITest) and contribute automated suites to CI/CD.
• API testing: validate REST endpoints (authentication, pagination, error handling) using tools such as Postman/Swagger and participate in contract testing with developers.
• Quality built into delivery: integrate tests into CI/CD, monitor failures, triage defects quickly and improve feedback loops to keep projects on schedule.
• Non‑functional quality: contribute to accessibility (WCAG‑aligned checks), performance and basic security/data‑handling verification in partnership with engineering.
• Collaboration & ways of working: work in an Agile/Scrum environment; contribute to estimation, planning and definition of acceptance criteria; collaborate with cross‑functional and cross‑country teams.
• Defect lifecycle & reporting: reproduce, isolate and document defects with clear steps and evidence, track quality metrics and share insights to drive continuous improvement.
• Release readiness & UAT: support test environment readiness, test data and user acceptance testing and help ensure releases meet agreed quality gates.
• Creates and sustains a positive work environment, participates in special‑interest communities and stays abreast of best practices, modern technologies, techniques and technical approaches to development.

• 3+ years in software testing/QA with demonstrable experience across both web and mobile app products.
• Web testing: strong grasp of responsive/adaptive web behaviour and browser nuances; ability to validate UI/UX and frontend integration quality.
• Mobile testing: hands‑on testing on iOS and Android (simulators/emulators and real devices); familiarity with platform behaviours, permissions, app lifecycle and release channels (Test Flight/App Store Connect, Google Play Console).
• API & data: comfortable testing REST APIs and using SQL/basic data validation when needed.
• Automation: experience scripting UI/API tests and maintaining stable suites; version control with Git.
• Agile & CI/CD: practiced in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Web Development or similar would be beneficial.

• Exposure to performance testing (e.g., Lighthouse, Web Vitals), accessibility tools and security testing fundamentals (e.g., OWASP Top 10).
• ISTQB Foundation (or equivalent) is a plus.
• 1 to 2 years in the financial/banking industry would be advantageous, ideally with experience in distressed / non-performing loans area.
