Appodeal Accelerator is a fast-growing division of Appodeal focused on helping mobile app and game developers scale through monetization, mediation, user acquisition, retention, analytics, and operational support.

We work both with game studios and app publishers, supporting projects across multiple verticals, genres, and monetization models.

We're not a service provider - we act as a strategic growth and product partner. Our team helps partners improve monetization performance, technical stability, retention, testing quality, creative performance, and operational scalability.

Beyond publishing support, we also work deeply with Appodeal's mediation and monetization ecosystem, helping partners with SDK integrations, attribution, analytics, ad operations, monetization setup, and technical troubleshooting.

We operate as a lean, high-impact team where ownership, speed, technical quality, and continuous process improvement are core to how we work.

We are looking for a Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience for part-time work to own technical QA, onboarding validation, SDK integration testing, and release readiness across Appodeal Accelerator partners.

This role combines:

technical QA,
monetization validation,
SDK and integration troubleshooting,
onboarding support,
and operational process improvement.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technically strong, operationally reliable, and comfortable independently validating builds and identifying risks before launch or testing.

This is not a passive/manual QA role - we are looking for someone who can proactively improve quality standards, identify technical risks early, and help scale QA operations efficiently.

Key Responsibilities:

Technical QA & Build Validation
Review builds before CPI, retention, or monetization testing
Run QA on gameplay, onboarding, progression, ads, paywalls, analytics, and monetization flows
Identify crashes, softlocks, blockers, technical inconsistencies, and UX issues
Ensure builds meet internal launch and testing readiness standards
SDK & Integration Validation
Support SDK integration verification and troubleshooting
Validate monetization, attribution, analytics, and event setup
Investigate technical integration issues and platform-specific problems
Collaborate with Product Engineer and partner studios during onboarding
Monetization & Analytics Validation
Validate rewarded ads, interstitials, banners, IAPs, subscriptions, and paywalls
Verify monetization event firing and analytics accuracy
Support monetization testing and experiment validation
Ensure attribution and mediation systems function correctly before launch

Pre-Test & Release Readiness:

Play and review games before testing approval
Evaluate technical stability, usability, retention-critical flows, and overall readiness
Identify risks that could negatively impact UA, monetization, or retention test performance
Collaborate with Product, QA, and Publishing teams on go/no-go decisions
QA Operations & Documentation
Maintain QA checklists, validation workflows, and testing documentation
Improve bug reporting standards and onboarding QA processes
Maintain integration and testing best-practice documentation
Contribute to improving QA standards and operational efficiency across the team
