Mobile Quality Control Engineer

About Pleny

Pleny is a social networking platform for food enthusiasts, connecting people who love discovering, sharing, and celebrating food experiences across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. We're a fast-growing startup building a vibrant community around one of life's greatest pleasures — food.

About the Role

We're looking for a detail-oriented Mobile QC Engineer to own the quality of our mobile app on iOS or Android. You'll test every new feature, catch bugs before our users do, and make sure each release feels polished on real devices. This is a hands-on role where your feedback directly shapes the product.

Prior QC experience is not a requirement. We care far more about dedication, commitment, and cultural fit than about years on a CV. If you have a sharp eye for quality and the drive to learn fast, we'll teach you the rest.

What You'll Do

• Test new features, bug fixes, and UI changes on the Pleny app before every releaseWrite and maintain test cases covering functional, regression, and edge-case scenarios
• Test the app extensively on real devices across multiple OS versions and screen sizes
• Write and maintain test cases covering functional, regression, and edge-case scenarios
• Log detailed, reproducible bug reports with clear steps, screenshots, and screen recordings
• Verify fixes and perform regression testing across multiple devices and versions
• Collaborate closely with the development team to clarify requirements and prioritize issues
• Test API integrations, push notifications, in-app purchases, and social features
• Monitor app performance, crash reports, and user-facing issues post-release
• Work closely with the development team in an agile cycle — sprint planning, standups, and fast feedback loops
• Contribute to improving our QA processes and testing coverage over time

What You'll Learn

We invest in the people who join us. In this role you'll pick up:

• QC automation with Maestro — building and maintaining automated mobile test flows
• API testing with Postman — collections, environments, and validating backend behavior
• Observability tools — Datadog and PostHog for crash tracking, session replay, and real-user monitoring
• Product analytics — reading funnels and user behavior data to spot issues the test plan missed

What We're Looking For

• Dedication and commitment to the role, regardless of experience level
• A genuine eye for quality — you notice the misaligned pixel, the janky animation, the odd empty state
• Strong attention to detail and the patience to reproduce and isolate a bug properly
• Excellent written communication — a bug report should be clear enough to act on without a follow-up call
• Solid understanding of mobile platform behavior, gestures, and platform design guidelines (Human Interface Guidelines for iOS, Material Design for Android)
• Self-motivated, able to manage your own time in a part-time, remote setting
• Available for 30 hours per week, with meaningful overlap with team working hours
• Comfortable in an agile, fast-moving startup environment

Requirements

• Your own iOS or Android device for daily testing (required)
• A Mac is a plus, especially for iOS testing and tooling
• Familiarity with a bug tracking tool such as ClickUp or Jira is a plus, not a must

Why Join Us

• You'll be the quality gate for an app used by food lovers across three markets, with direct access to the team and real ownership of what ships. We're small, we move fast, and the work you do is visible from day one.
