We're a product team building a non-custodial crypto wallet (iOS/Android), a crypto card, and a growing line of investing products. We ship fast: multiple releases per week across mobile and backend, and quality is non-negotiable: our users trust us with their assets.
We're looking for a Tech Lead QA to set the technical bar for the QA function, mentor a Middle QA engineer, and partner with developers to make automated test coverage genuinely effective. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, no people management, no 1:1s or performance reviews, but real influence on how quality is built and measured across the product.
Department: Product
Remote status: Fully Remote. Candidates based outside of the Russian Federation are preferred. Applicants residing in - must be considering relocation
Key responsibilities
-
Own the quality of mobile app (iOS/Android), backend services, and internal back-office tools releases.
-
Test new features with complex crypto and fintech logic, including high-stakes flows (transactions, swaps, asset custody, KYC).
-
Drive QA-developer collaboration on automated testing: write detailed test cases, review and accept actual coverage, and incorporate the resulting test suite into daily QA work.
-
Establish and own QA standards and metrics: test case templates, checklists, bug reporting standards, defect rate, escape rate, CFR/LT, and build reporting for stakeholders.
-
Lead production stability efforts: monitor logs and metrics (Sentry, Firebase, Grafana), drive incident response, run post-mortems, and surface root causes.
-
Mentor the Middle QA engineer and contribute to raising QA maturity across the team.
-
Shape QA strategy and influence product quality with the Team Lead, developers, product managers, and designers.
Must-have
Hard skills & experience
-
7+ years of QA experience, including at least 3 years of testing mobile products.
-
Background in fintech or crypto: you understand the stakes, the regulatory context, and the user expectations of money-movement products.
-
User-level experience with crypto wallets and a working understanding of blockchain mechanics: transactions and fees, seed phrases, derivation paths, common token standards (ERC-20, BEP-20, etc.), swaps, and bridges. Required even for candidates coming from a pure fintech background.
-
Excellent manual testing skills across mobile and API (Postman, Charles, or similar).
-
Solid understanding of performance and load testing principles, with the ability to design load scenarios; hands-on experience is a plus.
-
Hands-on experience reviewing automated tests and validating coverage in a collaborative model: writing detailed test cases, ensuring the developer's implementation actually covers the specified scenarios, and using the resulting test suite in daily QA work.
-
Experience working with QA metrics (defect rate, escape rate, test coverage, CFR/LT) and building QA reporting for stakeholders.
-
Hands-on experience with logs and monitoring tools (Sentry, Firebase, Grafana).
Soft skills
-
Proven mentoring experience: mentored 1-2 QA engineers over 6 months, plus hands-on involvement in establishing or improving QA processes within the team.
-
Proactive and responsible - able to influence, communicate, and argue constructively across product, engineering, and design.
-
English language proficiency: Upper-Intermediate or higher.
Nice-to-have
-
Experience with security testing, especially for crypto products (key management, signing, sensitive flows).
-
Hands-on experience with load testing tools (k6, JMeter, Locust, or similar).
-
Experience with Jest, Detox, or other JS-based testing frameworks.
-
Understanding of QA management methodologies and metric design beyond CFR/LT/defect rate.
-
Experience with KYC/AML systems.
