Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Lendable is a fintech company building technology for consumer credit and savings products. The Senior Quality Engineer will own mobile test strategy, build reliable automation and CI tooling, apply AI-assisted quality practices, and partner with product and engineering to prevent defects across React Native applications.
Responsibilities
- Define and evolve a pragmatic test pyramid for React Native - deciding where E2E is worth the weight and where logic belongs in faster layers (Jest, React Testing Library, component tests)
- Make deliberate calls about coverage, reliability, and speed trade-offs across the app
- Set the bar for what "ready to ship" looks like on mobile, and hold the line on it
- Create and maintain mobile E2E suites in Maestro, including the scaffolding around them - test data, device configuration, helpers, reporting
- Integrate suites into CI (GitHub Actions) so engineers get fast, trustworthy feedback on every PR and release candidates carry a signal people actually believe
- Drive flakiness down and time-to-diagnosis down. We treat a flaky test the same way we treat a broken test, and we expect root-cause work rather than retry-until-green
- Use AI tools day-to-day to accelerate test authoring, cluster failures, surface coverage insights, and propose fixes
- Decide where AI adds leverage and where a human eye is needed. A suite that looks comprehensive but isn't trustworthy is worse than a smaller one we rely on
- Help shape how the mobile team uses AI-assisted workflows more broadly - prompts, guardrails, review patterns
- Partner with product and engineering on shift-left quality: join specs early, push back on ambiguous acceptance criteria, and surface risk before code is written
- Close the loop on production issues using our observability stack (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana) - tying test coverage back to real customer impact
- Run targeted exploratory testing on high-risk releases when it's the right call
Skills
- 6+ years in quality engineering or test automation, with a track record of keeping automated suites stable rather than letting them rot into a graveyard of quarantined tests
- Experience introducing AI-assisted testing practices (test generation, failure clustering, coverage analytics) with sensible controls around review and trust
- Strong TypeScript and JavaScript - not just writing test scripts, but building helpers, tooling, and debugging into the app when needed
- Experience shaping CI/CD pipelines for test reliability (GitHub Actions or similar), including flakiness reduction, parallelisation, artefact management, and runtime control
- Comfortable with mobile E2E automation, or strong E2E experience on another platform plus a credible plan for getting productive on mobile quickly
- Able to operate independently and drive improvements end-to-end (frameworks, CI, test data, reporting)
- Hands-on with Maestro or Detox
- Hands-on experience testing React Native apps
- Mobile performance and reliability work (crash reporting, startup time, memory and battery awareness)
- API and contract testing experience, with a point of view on test data and environment strategy
Benefits
- Flexible working approach tailored to each role; fully remote roles include regular opportunities for in-person connection through socials and off-sites
- Opportunities and events to come together, socialise, and get to know each other beyond the office walls
- Support for physical and mental wellbeing, including private health cover
- Retirement savings plans
- Employee referral programme with a competitive bonus for successful referrals
- Fully stocked kitchen and complimentary lunches prepared by in-house chefs on in-office days at select locations
- Cycle-to-work and electric vehicle salary sacrifice schemes available in select locations
