The Problems You’ll Solve


As a Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer at Favorited, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the reliability and quality of our app. Working closely with development and product teams, you’ll help identify, investigate, and resolve issues to deliver a seamless user experience.

QA at Favorited goes beyond just finding bugs—it’s about owning the quality of the entire experience, from first use to support to partnerships. Even if all bugs were fixed tomorrow, QA would remain essential to maintaining a world-class product.


Your Responsibilities

Quality Assurance & Testing

  • Triage and investigate issues reported by support or users, providing maximum context to developers via tools like Linear.

  • Actively use the app daily to detect regressions, assess usability, and develop a strong mental model of all app flows.

  • Debug under pressure—many issues arise while users are live, so rapid diagnosis is critical.

  • Investigate GCP/Sentry logs and Discord conversations to uncover user-reported or hidden issues.


Unit & Integration Tests

  • Design and maintain manual and automated testing scenarios that prevent regressions and validate new features.

  • Ensure quality is not limited to code correctness but extends to user experience, support touch points, and external integrations.

  • Participate in the QA workflow from issue detection to review post-deployment.

  • Use AI to help you write comprehensive tests.

  • Write clear, concise documentation on how features should behave and how they are tested.

Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with support, product, design, and backend engineering to ensure issues are triaged, investigated, and resolved with high context.

  • Communicate clearly and relentlessly—especially when issues arise—to ensure the team has full situational awareness.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate has a sharp eye for detail, takes pride in building top-tier mobile applications, and demonstrates extreme ownership over their work. They communicate clearly and quickly—especially when problems arise—and provide the context needed for the team to act. When issues slip through, they show resilience, learning from mistakes to improve the product and process.

When applying, please include links to your GitHub profile, any apps you've worked on in the App Store, and describe your specific contributions.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Deep understanding of how to test modern mobile apps

  • Working knowledge of Swift, Kotlin and Dart

  • Preferred - working knowledge of Typescript

  • Preferred - Experience with real-time media streaming technologies (e.g., WebRTC, RTMP, HLS, RTP/RTSP).
