Today, testing is handled by our developers and product team. Our mobile app is built in React Native and ships on both iOS and Android. You’ll start with hands-on manual testing across both platforms, then build the foundations for automation: UI/UX regression tests and software test fixtures that simulate point-of-sale (POS) terminals, so we’re no longer tied to physical hardware for every test cycle. Much of that work will be done in TypeScript and Node.js, so this role is a good fit for someone who enjoys writing code, debugging, and building tools. Because there’s no established QA team yet, you’ll work closely with the engineering team and have real influence shaping how we test, what tools we use, and how quality is measured.\nThis is a great fit for a curious, self-motivated person who wants to learn fast, take ownership early, and help define what QA looks like at our company.\nWhat You’ll Do\nCreate our first formal end-to-end manual test plans and execute them on iOS and Android for new features, bug fixes, and release candidates\n\nWrite clear, reusable test cases from product requirements, designs, and user stories, and organize them into a living test library\n\nIdentify, document, and track defects with precise reproduction steps, noting whether issues are platform-specific or shared across iOS and Android, and work directly with developers to verify fixes\n\nUse Node.js and TypeScript tooling to debug issues, inspect logs and API traffic, and help pinpoint root causes\n\nPerform exploratory testing to uncover edge cases, device and OS-version differences, and usability issues\n\nHelp establish baseline QA processes: bug reporting standards, release checklists, and test documentation\n\nBegin building automated UI/UX regression tests for our React Native app\n\nDevelop test fixtures and mock services in TypeScript and Node.js that simulate POS terminal behavior, reducing our reliance on physical hardware\n\nHelp evaluate and recommend testing tools and frameworks, and bring automated tests into our CI/CD pipeline over time\n\nPartner with engineers and product managers during project planning, standups, and release readiness reviews\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequired\nHands-on programming experience in TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js. You’re comfortable writing scripts and small services, working with async code, using npm, and debugging with logs. Coursework, internships, bootcamps, and personal projects all count.\n\nWorking familiarity with React and React Native (components, props, state, hooks, and how a UI renders), enough to understand how our app behaves and where bugs tend to come from. Building even a small React Native project, such as a personal or course app, is great preparation.\n\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\n\nUnderstanding of the software development lifecycle and core QA concepts (test plans, test cases, regression and smoke testing, bug lifecycle)\n\nStrong attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem-solving\n\nSelf-motivation and comfort with ambiguity: you’ll often figure out the “how” yourself rather than follow an existing playbook\n\nClear written and verbal communication skills, including the confidence to raise quality concerns with the engineering team and product stakeholders\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with React Native tooling such as Expo, Metro, or React Native debugging tools\n\nExperience with mobile UI automation frameworks such as Detox, Maestro, or Appium (WebdriverIO)\n\nExperience with JavaScript/TypeScript testing tools such as Jest, Vitest, or React Native Testing Library\n\nExperience testing mobile apps on iOS and Android devices, simulators, and emulators (Xcode Simulator, Android Studio)\n\nExperience with Node.js servers or frameworks (e.g., Express, Fastify) and building or consuming REST APIs, WebSockets, or mock servers\n\nExperience with Git and basic version control workflows\n\nFamiliarity with bug tracking and test management tools (e.g., Jira, TestRail)\n\nFamiliarity with API tools like Postman\n\nInterest in or exposure to payments, POS systems, or hardware integrations\n\nFamiliarity with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Bitrise, EAS)\n\nWhat You’ll Learn and Grow Into\nDesigning a scalable React Native UI automation framework from the ground up\n\nBuilding mocks, simulators, and test fixtures for hardware and payment integrations in a production-quality Node.js and TypeScript codebase\n\nUnderstanding how React Native apps interact with native iOS and Android layers, and where platform-specific bugs come from\n\nGaining hands-on exposure to debugging distributed systems, including tracing issues across services, understanding common failure modes, and learning proven solution approaches alongside our engineers\n\nDefining QA standards and best practices that the company will build on\n\nShifting quality left by partnering with developers earlier in the development cycle\n\nGrowing into a senior or lead quality role as the QA function expands, with the chance to help hire and onboard future team members\n\nWhat We Offer\nDirect access to our engineering team, who will support your technical growth and give you context on our codebase, architecture, and POS integrations\n\nHigh visibility and real ownership: your work will directly shape how we ship\n\n$60,000 - $80,000\n\n100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage, with four Blue Cross Blue Shield medical plans to choose from (including an HSA-eligible option) and dental and vision through Guardian\n\nUnlimited PTO and a location-agnostic schedule, so you can work from anywhere in the U.S.A.\n\nEqual Opportunity\nTabbed is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every qualification listed.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5962,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"New York","iso":null,"kind":"city"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T18:31:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":80000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T16:03:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4033,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4416637},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4416637"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftabbed-inc-junior-qa-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3170984}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tabbedinc.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3170984},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
