Papernest is revolutionizing contract management, making it simple and fast. Join our growing team and shape the future of mobile quality!
🚀 About Papernest
Since 2015, Papernest has been a leader in contract management, simplifying subscriptions, management, and provider switching through a single platform. We proudly serve over 2 million customers across France, Spain, and Italy. Our continuous exploration and development of new verticals solidify our position as an innovative, high-performing scale-up in a rapidly expanding market.
With over 900 employees across three locations, we are a European market leader. We're always seeking talented individuals eager to join a committed, motivated team working on a meaningful product. Embracing a culture of excellence, innovation, and real impact is what working with us means.
📱 About the Role: First Dedicated Mobile Tester
You'll be a pivotal addition to our QA team as our first dedicated mobile tester. Papernest is building new mobile apps from scratch, currently using Flutter/Dart, with potential for stack evolution. These apps will bring our contract management platform to mobile, empowering millions of users to manage energy providers, telecom contracts, and insurance from their phones.
You will own mobile quality from its inception. This includes designing the test strategy for a product that doesn't yet exist and growing into mobile automation as the apps mature. You'll operate within a continuous deployment culture where teams ship autonomously (over 2,000 releases annually), and quality gates are integral to this process.
You won't be working in isolation. You'll join a QA team of 8 engineers based in Paris and Barcelona. Our team structure involves pairs combining automation expertise with testing strategy, and you'll have a dedicated pair partner from day one. Together, you'll challenge acceptance criteria, define testing scope and methods, and help developers embrace quality ownership. Our approach to AI is pragmatic: AI-augmented engineers, not AI-replaced engineers – and we want you to bring this mindset to testing.
While heavy mobile automation infrastructure isn't required today, we need someone with deep mobile understanding. You should be capable of designing the right test approach for a product being built from scratch and ready to scale into automation as the apps mature. You'll work within Agile delivery with short release cycles (bi-weekly sprints).
🎯 What You’ll Do
- Design and own the mobile test strategy for your squad, covering the full spectrum of mobile-specific risks. This includes network conditions, device fragmentation, gestures, deep links, and app lifecycle edge cases (iOS and Android, real devices + emulators/simulators).
- Integrate multi-language and accessibility constraints (RGAA) into your testing approach.
- Validate mobile-to-backend communication through REST API testing, ensuring the contract between app and services holds under edge cases.
- Collaborate with your QA partner to design coverage strategies that balance manual testing, exploratory testing, automation, and deliberate risk acceptance.
- Own quality outcomes for your squad, from challenging acceptance criteria in refinement to deciding what risk the team can accept and defending that decision.
- Contribute to web e2e tests using Playwright (with Currents for test orchestration) across your squad's critical user journeys.
- Explore and adopt AI-assisted testing approaches (test generation, intelligent test selection, coverage analysis) as part of the team's quality toolbox.
- Build deep product domain knowledge for your squad(s) and document it so another engineer could pick up your coverage within a week.
🌟 What Success Looks Like in the First Semester
- By Month 1: Deliver a complete exploratory coverage map for the Flutter app's critical mobile flows, with a documented test strategy distinguishing what to test manually, what to automate, and what risk to accept.
- By Month 3: Independently own mobile quality for one product squad, attending refinement, reviewing ACs, producing clear bug reports, and co-owning sprint goals with your pair partner.
- By Month 6: A first automated mobile test suite is running in CI for at least one critical user journey, integrated into the team's GitHub Actions pipelines. The mobile testing practice is documented and transferable – another QA engineer could pick up your coverage within a week using your documentation, automation, and coverage maps.
🛠️ Technical Environment
- Mobile: Flutter / Dart (new apps, built from scratch), but this can evolve.
- Web automation: Playwright + Currents for test orchestration.
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions (continuous deployment, 2,000+ releases/year).
- API testing: REST (Postman or similar).
- Observability: Sentry (errors), OpenSearch (logs), AWS.
- Environments: Ephemeral per-branch environments for isolated testing.
- Project / knowledge management: Jira, Notion.
- Languages: Python, TypeScript.
💡 What We're Looking For
Must-have:
- Minimum 2 years of hands-on mobile testing experience on both iOS and Android (automation + real devices + emulators/simulators).
- Proficiency with at least one mobile automation framework (Detox, Maestro, XCUITest, Espresso, or similar). Experience with Flutter/Dart testing is a strong bonus.
- Good scripting skills in Python + TypeScript or JavaScript.
- REST API testing experience (Postman or similar).
- Solid grasp of test types (functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, performance) and test case design techniques.
- Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred).
Strong differentiators:
- Solid experience with Playwright for web test automation.
- Experience applying AI tools in a QA context (test generation, AI-powered mobile testing tools, log analysis, intelligent test selection).
- Comfortable with Jira, Notion, test management (e.g., Xray), and observability tools (e.g., Sentry).
Nice-to-have:
- Engineering degree or equivalent in computer science.
- Startup or fast-growing product environment experience.
- Experience with performance or load testing.
- Exposure to the energy, telecom, or insurance domains.
Work style:
You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. You communicate directly, prefer building to blocking, and move forward with pragmatism rather than waiting for perfect information. You're comfortable working in a distributed team with async communication and written documentation.
Languages:
Good level of English, spoken and written. French and/or Spanish is a bonus.
You understand that automation is a tool, not the goal – and you know when exploratory testing will find what scripted tests won't.
