AppUp Labs is a mobile app development company specializing in building custom iOS, Android, and cross-platform applications for startups and growing businesses. We work with clients primarily in the US, UK, and European markets, creating beautiful and functional mobile experiences.

We're a small team (9 people) that ships real products to real users. As we take on more projects, we need someone dedicated to quality - someone who catches the bugs, edge cases, and UX issues before our users ever see them. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a QA Engineer who takes pride in finding problems. You'll test mobile apps (Flutter, iOS, Android) and web applications (Next.js/React) across multiple client projects. This is a hands-on role - you'll be testing real apps used by thousands of people.

Reporting to: Lead Developer / Founder

Location: Remote (India)

Work Type: Full-Time

Testing & Quality:

• Test mobile apps on real iOS and Android devices - not just simulators

• Write and maintain test cases, test plans, and bug reports that developers actually find useful

• Test APIs using Postman or similar tools - verify endpoints, error handling, and edge cases

• Perform regression testing before every release

• Test across different screen sizes, OS versions, and network conditions

Process & Collaboration:

• Work closely with developers to reproduce, document, and verify bug fixes

• Collaborate with designers to verify UI implementation matches Figma specs

• Participate in sprint planning and help estimate testing effort

• Help build and improve our QA processes as the team grows

• Flag UX issues and usability concerns - not just functional bugs

What You'll Test:

• Flutter mobile apps (iOS and Android)

• Next.js/React web applications and admin dashboards

• REST APIs and backend integrations

• Payment flows, auth systems, and real-time features

Must-Haves:

• 1-2 years of QA/testing experience - you've tested real apps, not just followed tutorials

• Mobile testing experience - you know the quirks of testing on iOS and Android

• API testing skills - comfortable with Postman, understanding of REST APIs and status codes

• Attention to detail - you notice when a button is 2px off or a loading state is missing

• Clear communication - you can write bug reports that developers don't have to ask follow-up questions about

• Self-motivated - comfortable working remotely and managing your own testing schedule

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience with test automation (Appium, Detox, Selenium, Playwright)

• Basic understanding of Flutter or React (helps you understand what you're testing)

• Experience with CI/CD and how testing fits into the pipeline

• Performance testing experience (load testing, profiling)

• Security testing basics (OWASP, common vulnerabilities)

Tools You'll Use:

• Postman - API testing

• Real devices + simulators - iOS and Android testing

• GitHub - Bug tracking and issue management

• Figma - Design reference for visual QA

• Slack - Team communication

• Notion - Test documentation and planning

Don't worry if you haven't used all of these - we'll help you get up to speed.

• 🏝️ Weekends OFF - Saturday & Sunday (we actually mean it)

• 🎧 Spotify Premium - Company paid (test with good music)

• 😊 20 Days Paid Leave - Sick days, personal days, mental health days

• 💰 Work-from-Home Setup - ₹15K one-time allowance for your workspace

• 📚 Learning Budget - ₹20K/year for courses, books, conferences

• 🏡 Fully Remote - Work from anywhere in India

• 🍊 Flexible Hours - Core hours for team collaboration, flexibility otherwise

What We Offer:

• Real Impact: You're the last line of defense before apps go live to thousands of users

• Variety: Test different types of apps across different industries - never boring

• Respected Role: QA isn't an afterthought here - we genuinely value quality and your input matters

• Small Team: Direct collaboration with developers and designers (no ticket-passing bureaucracy)

• Growth Path: Build out our QA processes, introduce automation, grow into a QA Lead role

What We're NOT:

• Not a company where QA is treated as a lesser role

• Not a place where you'll just click through test cases mindlessly

• Not a "ship it broken, we'll fix it later" culture

What We ARE:

• A small, focused team that cares about craft

• Growing steadily (not hyper-growth chaos)

• Building real products that matter to users

• Creating a sustainable, healthy work environment

You Should Apply If You:

• Get genuine satisfaction from finding bugs others missed

• Think like a user, not just a tester - you care about the whole experience

• Are organized and methodical but also creative in finding edge cases

• Want to learn and eventually move into test automation

• Value work-life balance and a healthy work environment

Don't Apply If You:

• Think QA is just about following scripts and checking boxes

• Write bug reports like "it's broken" with no steps to reproduce

• Need constant hand-holding and can't prioritize your own testing

• Don't care about the product - you just want to "pass" test cases

• Are looking for a large corporate environment with fancy offices

Show us examples of well-written bug reports or test plans if you have them. We want to see how you think about quality.
