Role description
QA & Test Engineer (with Front-End + GIS Understanding)
We are seeking a detail-oriented QA & Test Engineer with strong technical instincts and the ability to identify, reproduce, test, and fix issues across our front-end web and mobile products. Experience with GIS or mapping applications is a bonus but not required—what matters is your ability to understand complex systems, ensure product quality, and collaborate with developers to ship stable, high-performance software.
This role is ideal for someone who loves breaking things, finding the root cause, and ensuring users experience a smooth, consistent, and bug-free product.
Key Responsibilities
Quality Assurance & Testing
Develop, maintain, and execute test plans and test cases for web and mobile applications.
Perform functional, regression, integration, usability, performance, and exploratory testing.
Test geospatial and non-geospatial user workflows, ensuring data correctness and UI consistency.
Validate bug fixes and confirm stability before release.
Debugging & Issue Resolution
Reproduce issues reliably and provide high-quality bug reports with steps, logs, and context.
Work directly with developers to identify root causes.
Fix smaller front-end issues yourself (UI inconsistencies, minor JS/React bugs, styling issues).
Verify map rendering issues, data layer bugs, and component logic where applicable.
Automation & Tooling
Build and maintain automated test suites (Cypress, Playwright, Detox, Postman/Newman, etc.).
Set up automated regression suites that ensure releases remain stable.
Improve CI/CD quality gates (lint, unit tests, visual regression checks, map snapshot testing).
Quality Ownership in the Team
Advocate for quality and testing best practices across the development process.
Collaborate closely with developers, designers, and product managers.
Maintain testing documentation, test data sets, and QA workflows.
Participate in sprint planning, reviewing acceptance criteria, and improving specifications.
Required Skills & Qualifications
Experience in quality assurance for web and/or mobile applications.
Strong ability to diagnose, isolate, and reproduce front-end bugs.
Comfortable reading and modifying front-end code (JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS).
Experience writing automated tests (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Appium, or similar).
Familiarity with REST APIs, JSON responses, and API-driven testing.
Solid understanding of Git workflows.
Strong attention to detail, curiosity, and a structured approach to breaking things.
Ability to work independently in a fast-moving product environment.
Preferred / Bonus Skills
Experience with testing geospatial applications (Mapbox, Leaflet, OpenLayers, vector tiles).
Understanding of geospatial formats (GeoJSON, WMS/WFS).
Experience with visual regression tools (Percy, Applitools).
Knowledge of SQL/PostGIS or spatial data validation.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation for testing.
Ability to perform light front-end development in React or React Native.
