He will ensure end-to-end product quality across mobile and backend systems through rigorous API, app, and UX testing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Culture of Rigor : You will lead the \"0 to 1\" QA roadmap. You are the architect of our testing standards. You will define the SOPs for smoke, regression, and UAT, ensuring that we never sacrifice customer trust for speed.
• End-to-End Validation : You own the integrity of the Fintech ecosystem. You will perform rigorous testing across native mobile apps and Python microservices, verifying everything from UI transitions to complex backend transaction logic and API handshakes.

Qualifications Required

The Stack & Tooling:

• Backend Proficiency : You must have experience in API testing using tools like Postman or Insomnia for deep-dive contract testing and validation of complex request/response payloads. Additional experience with Python-based services is a significant advantage.
• Good-to-Have: Ability to navigate server logs and query SQL/NoSQL databases to verify data persistence and backend state transitions.
• Mobile Ecosystem & UX Intuition: Expertise in testing Native iOS and Android apps. Beyond functional bugs, you have a discerning eye for:
• Localization (LTR/RTL): Deep understanding of Right-to-Left layout mirroring, ensuring that iconography, navigation, and alignment are culturally and technically accurate for Arabic-speaking markets.
• Accessibility & UX Patterns: Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and native UI patterns across different screen densities and device-specific behaviors .
• Traffic Inspection: Fluency in using tools like Charles Proxy or Proxyman to intercept traffic and validate error handling.
• Automation Readiness : Demonstrated experience with (or clear ability to implement) frameworks such as Appium, Espresso, XCUITest. You understand how to integrate these into CI/CD pipelines.

The Mindset

• Product Intuition: You don't just test features; you test the user experience. You possess the \"product sense\" to identify when a flow—even if technically functional—is intuitive or creates friction.
• Innate Curiosity: You are the person who asks \"What happens if the user kills the app exactly when the payment callback is received?\" and then goes and finds the answer.
• Root Cause Analysis : When a bug is found, your first instinct is to find the why. You can trace a frontend glitch back to a specific backend service or a database constraint.
• 0 to 1 Experience : Proven track record in a 0 to 1 environment or a high-growth startup where you built or significantly scaled the QA function.
• Arabic Proficiency (Preferred): While not mandatory, the ability to read and understand Arabic is highly preferred to ensure the highest level of accuracy for localized content, nuance, and user flows.

Who will excel?

• We’re looking for people with high standards, who understand that hard work matters.
• You need to be relentlessly resourceful and operate with a deep bias for action.
• We need people with the courage to be fiercely original.
• noon is not for everyone; readiness to adapt, pivot, and learn is essential.
