Job Summary

Must have Technical Skills:

Core Mobile Tech in Scope
Ionic (Angular/React/Vue front end) Capacitor/Cordova plugin ecosystem and bridge behavior (JS native) WebView rendering (WKWebView) nuances and offline/online hybrid flows.
iOS (Swift) basics needed for black box/gray box validation: view lifecycle networking push notifications background modes Keychain and deep links/universal links.
Plugin Testing: validating Capacitor/Cordova plugins (Camera Geolocation Push Filesystem In App Purchases Biometric/Auth) permission prompts and error states.
Build & Packaging Awareness: Xcode schemes provisioning profiles signing TestFlight distributions; Podfile/SPM dependencies for iOS; understanding how Web assets are bundled in Ionic builds.
Strong grounding in test strategy test plans risk based testing functional and non functional coverage (performance reliability security accessibility).
(Java/TypeScript/Python) for cross platform E2E on hybrid apps.
(if React Native is used in parts) and Charles/Proxyman for traffic inspection & mocks.
Proficiency with Xcode Instruments (crash logs memory energy) device syslogs and Safari Web Inspector for WKWebView.

Roles & Responsibilities

- Own test strategy and coverage for features implemented with Ionic Capacitor/Cordova and native Swift components.
- Design write and maintain test cases checklists and automation for smoke/regression/performance suites.
- Validate hybrid native bridges: ensure Capacitor/Cordova plugins behave consistently across iOS versions/devices; verify permission flows fallbacks and error handling.
- Execute builds on Simulators & Real Devices; triage issues with reproducible steps logs and videos; drive quick root cause with developers (front end native backend).
- Set up and maintain QA environments test data mocks/stubs; collaborate with DevOps to wire suites into CI/CD with clear pass/fail signals.
- Gate releases: run release checklists TestFlight validation app upgrade paths and store submission readiness (screenshots privacy labels review notes).
- Champion quality metrics (defect escape rate flaky test rate runtime coverage) and continuously improve the test pyramid (component integration E2E).
- Security & Privacy checks in collaboration with AppSec (TLS cert pinning behavior if applicable PII handling clipboard/pasteboard policies ATS tracking transparency).
- test plans decisions edge cases and known limitations; provide clear defect reports with logs HAR files and device context.
