About the Position
We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer who investigates rather than just reports. You will own quality across a React Native mobile app and a Next.js web experience, backed by Java/Spring Boot services behind a Node BFF. This is a hands-on role centered on real devices, developer tools, logs, and APIs rather than UI clicking alone, and it calls for clear, proactive communication with engineers, product, and design throughout the development cycle.

Responsibilities
• Execute manual and exploratory test passes against web and mobile releases,



working from acceptance criteria, designs, and your own curiosity about where things break.
• Use browser developer tools (console, network, elements, application storage, device emulation) as a first-line diagnostic tool to narrow down where a bug lives, not just to confirm it.
• Debug the React Native application on real iOS and Android devices as well as simulators and emulators: reading native device and crash logs, using React Native's debugging tooling (Metro, the JS console, React DevTools), inspecting network traffic, working with pre-release and over-the-air builds, and reproducing issues across OS versions and device classes.
• Use Datadog (logs, dashboards, error tracking, RUM/session replay) to triage reported issues, confirm whether a bug is client-side or server-side, and attach real evidence to a ticket.
• Test REST APIs directly, validating request/response payloads, stat
