QA Specialist – Product & UX (m/f/d)

100% Remote · European time zone (UTC-1 to UTC+3)

Own product quality at Joyride. We ship fast with AI-accelerated engineering. Your job is to be the human who decides whether it actually feels right.

What you will do

• Vibe-check every release. AI-built flows often pass the spec but feel wrong for real users. You catch that, before our users do.
• Test with judgement, not checklists. You explore real user paths across iOS, Android and web, and decide whether something is good enough to ship.
• Use AI as a multiplier. Ask Claude to brainstorm edge cases, draft precise bug reports from your notes, summarize logs, compare release diffs. You stay hands-on with the product, not in the code.
• Translate between product, design and engineering. You give engineers a clean repro, give designers a screenshot with the broken UX, give PMs a clear "ship or wait" signal.
• Own the quality bar over time. As our output grows, you shape what "good enough" looks like and how we scale judgement, not headcount.

What we're looking for

• You have a strong product and UX instinct. You can tell the difference between something that works and something that feels right, and you can articulate why.
• You have technical literacy without being an engineer. You understand frontend, backend, APIs, networks and mobile platforms enough to talk fluently with developers, but you don’t need to write code.
• AI tools are part of how you work. They are open in another tab while you test. You write better bug reports with them, brainstorm edge cases, decode stack traces.
• You communicate cleanly. Your bug tickets land with precise repros, expected vs actual, and the right level of context. Engineers don’t bounce them back.
• You take ownership end-to-end, from finding an issue to seeing the fix shipped.

What's required

• 2+ years in a role where you owned product quality on real consumer-facing mobile apps (QA, product testing, support engineering, design QA, or similar).
• Comfortable using AI tools as part of your daily workflow.
• Based in a European time zone (UTC-1 to UTC+3).
• Fluent in English, written and verbal.

Bonus points if you have…

• Background in product management, UX or product design.
• Experience reading code or scripting (helps you debug faster, but never required for the day-to-day).
• Experience with mobile QA tooling (Maestro, Detox, XCUITest, Espresso) or compiling your own debug builds.
• You have shipped consumer apps with millions of users.
• Fluency in German, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Why you will love it

• Real impact. Work on products that millions of people use every day across Jaumo, WeightBuddy and Cosmy. Your judgement directly shapes what they see.
• Lean and serious. 25 people, 10 countries, fully remote. No middle layer between you and the decisions that matter.
• AI-first culture. We don’t resist AI tools, we build our workflow around them. You’ll be encouraged and expected to use Claude as part of yours.
• Flexibility & balance. 100% remote, working hours aligned to UTC-1 to UTC+3. We care about results, not hours.
• Fair compensation. Competitive salary, 30 days paid vacation, your local public holidays.

Application process

1. Application review — We review your background and experience to see if there's a good match for the role.
2. Intro call — A short conversation to get to know each other, align on expectations, and answer initial questions.
3. Take-home test — A small, role-related task that reflects the kind of work you would actually do in this position. Estimated time: about 2 hours.
4. Team interview — A deeper conversation with team members you would work with — about your approach, experience, and the take-home test. Usually around 1.5 hours.
5. Final conversation — A final alignment call to cover any remaining questions and next steps.
