About the Role

This is the role for you, if you’re excited to work on the things listed below:

Driving Performance & Stability: Owning the non-functional testing strategy. You will design and execute critical performance, load, and stress tests for our core iOS app to ensure smooth performance for millions of users. Architecting Advanced Automation: Building and expanding our automated test suite across iOS and cross platforms (depending on your strong suit). You will also help drive modern framework migrations and API automation. Shift-Left Leadership: Embedding deeply with the feature squad. You won't just test code; you will design for testability, create comprehensive test plans, and catch critical architectural risks before a single line of code is deployed.

The skills you will need to be successful in the above:

7+ years in Quality Engineering or QA roles, with a track record of stability and technical growth. Deep, hands-on experience writing automated tests using Xcode and XCUITest (Swift), and/or cross-platform (Cypress/Playwright), API testing

• Performance Profiling: Expertise in using developer tools like Instruments to identify memory leaks, lag, and performance bottlenecks.
• A Versatile QE Mindset: You are as comfortable writing code for automation as you are executing rigorous manual exploratory testing.
• CI/CD Proficiency: Working knowledge of integrating test suites into pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, TeamCity).
• Even if you don’t meet all the criteria listed above, we would still love to hear from you! Goodnotes places a lot of value on learning and development and will support your growth if needed.
