Manual QA Engineer

Appcharge is a leading direct-to-consumer platform for app publishers. We help publishers sell digital goods directly to their users - bypassing traditional app store commissions and owning the full payment and commerce experience.

The result: higher margins, better flexibility, and a more direct relationship with end users.

Backed by $89M from leading investors and operators, we’ve grown 14x in the past year and now process over a billion dollars annually. We’re building the infrastructure that lets modern app businesses take back control of monetization – at scale.

As a QA Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and flawless execution of Appcharge’s core systems. You’ll work on high-scale, cloud-native services that power critical payment and business flows, taking ownership of the testing lifecycle — from test planning and execution to production monitoring and continuous improvement. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to maintain our high engineering standards and deliver a seamless experience for our publishers and their users

We are looking for someone analytical, detail oriented, and comfortable working in an agile environment.

If you are passionate about identifying potential issues early, and making a lasting impact on quality processes in a dynamic and rapid-growth environment, Appcharge is the place for you!
