About This Role

As a Quality Engineer at Bible Project, you empower teams to ship reliable, secure, and performant software by embedding quality practices throughout the development lifecycle. You lead with automation and observability, design for testability, and partner with Engineers, Product, and Design to shift quality left so that defects are prevented, not just detected. You'll design, build, and own the app's automation suite, identify where coverage is needed across the test pyramid and partner with engineers to close the gaps, and use production signals to target risk — bringing demonstrated experience driving quality for production software at scale.

The App squad owns the Bible Project mobile app, where our audience reads and studies Scripture, often in community. Quality is what makes that experience trustworthy, and mobile makes that its own kind of challenge: the app has to hold up offline or on a weak connection, across a wide range of iOS and Android devices. You'll be the quality owner and anchor for this squad, working independently and shaping how we build for quality early rather than waiting to be handed test cases.

That matters especially right now: we're building toward the future of the app, and testability is still something we can shape as we go. Manual testing here is targeted exploratory discovery — the critical and edge cases, the accessibility gaps, the things automation won't catch — rather than high-volume regression.

Most importantly, you'll be an integral part of maturing the product engineering culture of Bible Project, setting and maintaining a high bar with regard to our standards and people, and working to create an environment where great technical professionals like yourself can ship work worthy of our mission at a sustainable pace that reflects the Bible Project values: creative, humble, thoughtful, unifying, generous, and unhurried.

Core Functions

Leadership

• Own the App squad's automation suite and quality roadmap independently — build, maintain, and evolve it without ongoing pairing support.
• Own test strategy across the pyramid: identify where tests are needed — unit, component, integration, end-to‑end — and partner with engineers to close gaps, influencing scope and sequencing based on risk and user impact.
• Champion shift‑left practices: drive testability in design reviews and codify quality engineering standards and patterns.
• Partner with Product, Design, Dev Ops, and Data to define testable acceptance criteria (usability, accessibility, offline/edge‑case behavior) and align on SLOs and release readiness.
• Drive continuous improvement: identify bottlenecks in CI/CD, observability, and environments, and deliver measurable fixes.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the automation suite with durable patterns, stable test data, and reliable test environments across iOS and Android.
• Track coverage gaps as the product evolves, and partner with engineers to get unit and component‑level tests written and maintained in the codebase.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD with clear gates, fast feedback, and actionable reporting, driving down flaky failures over time.
• Plan and execute targeted exploratory testing on critical flows, new designs, and edge cases — offline/poor‑connectivity behavior, accessibility gaps, and other issues automation won't catch — documenting reproducible steps and user impact.
• Establish, track, and improve quality signals (defect rate, change‑failure rate, test stability, coverage depth, crash‑free rate); validate releases using production signals and lead post‑release verification for high‑risk launches.
