A video freezes after the fifth swipe. Audio keeps playing after you leave the screen. A notification opens the wrong story.

You notice these things. You work out when they happen, reproduce them and give the developer enough detail to investigate.

You will test manually, write automated checks and help the team catch problems before users do. The app needs to work on the phone in someone’s hand, on the network they actually have.

About AM

AM is a creator-first news platform built around short, fact-checked vertical videos for Gen Z and Millennials. Our Flip feature brings credible alternative perspectives to the story. We go deep without going slow.

Why this role matters

Video playback, loading speed and smooth navigation are central to AM. A broken experience can lose a user before they finish their first story.

You will work alongside engineering and product to test our Flutter app on Android and iOS. Manual testing will help uncover unexpected behaviour. Automation will help catch repeat failures as the product changes.

What you will own
• Write and maintain test cases for onboarding, login, feed navigation, video playback, Flip, sharing, notifications and deep links.
• Run manual functional, exploratory, smoke and regression tests on new features and release builds.
• Test across devices, screen sizes and operating system versions, including lower-end Android phones.
• Check video behaviour during rapid scrolling, repeated playback, backgrounding, interruptions and network changes. Look for buffering, overlapping audio, freezes and crashes.
• Test slow connections, lost connectivity, denied permissions, expired sessions and app updates.
• Report bugs with reproduction steps, expected and actual behaviour, build and device details, screenshots, recordings and relevant logs.
• Work with developers to investigate issues, verify fixes and check whether related flows still work.
• Build and maintain automated smoke and regression tests for repeatable mobile flows, using the team’s framework with engineering guidance.
• Investigate automated test failures and distinguish product bugs from unreliable tests or setup issues.
• Use API testing and logs to help trace problems. Keep release checklists updated and flag unresolved issues clearly.

Who you are
• A student, recent graduate or self-taught tester with practical work you can show. College and personal projects count.
• Understand test cases, regression testing, bug severity and the bug lifecycle.
• Can think beyond the expected flow and explain what else might break.
• Have basic programming skills and can read, write and debug simple test scripts.
• Have tried mobile automation through a project or coursework, using Appium, Flutter integration tests or a comparable framework.
• Can write a bug report someone else can reproduce without a follow-up call.
• Use AI thoughtfully and can explain the tests it helps you write.
• Based in Mumbai or willing to relocate within commutable distance.

This is an early-team role. You will help build the testing habits and regression coverage that grow with the product.
