What You'll Do

Define & Drive Quality Strategy


  • Own test strategy and quality across our iOS, Android, and web Bible App experiences — definingwhat to test, when, and how to balance manual, exploratory, and automated coverage based on risk.
  • Define and maintain automated API, contract, and integration testing strategies to validatebackend services that support Bible App experiences.
  • Lead feature-flag and experiment QA — validating flag-on and flag-off states, configuring QAtesters per variant, confirming exposure events, and partnering with Product on safe phasedrollouts and A/B test integrity.
  • Own release health — interpreting crash-free-rate, ANRs, and hang metrics from our observabilitytooling; correlating issues to releases and experiment variants; defining quality gates that failbuilds on regression.
  • Drive production quality initiatives through monitoring, synthetic testing, release validation,incident analysis, root-cause investigations, and quality-driven postmortems.
  • Track and report quality metrics (defect density, escape rate, test execution time, crash-free rate)to engineering leadership and product partners.
  • Define and maintain automated API, contract, and integration testing strategies to validate backend services that support Bible App experiences, including integration of automated testing into CI/CD pipelines. 

    • Execute & Validate Quality

  • Design, develop, and maintain automated API, contract, and integration tests that validatebackend services supporting Bible App experiences.

    • Collaborate, Mentor & Improve


  • Partner with engineers and product managers to shift quality left — joining refinement,contributing to acceptance criteria, reviewing PRs, and pairing on test design so issues arecaught before they ship.
  • Mentor and develop other quality engineers by sharing knowledge, raising the teamʼs quality bar,and helping junior and mid-level engineers grow into stronger QEs.
  • Drive continuous improvement of our QE tools, frameworks, and processes, while evaluating newapproaches, including AI-augmented testing, and bringing the best ones to the team.
