## Job description

At [Range Group](https://www.rangegroup.com/) we believe in the power of the professional travel advisor. We represent over $4.5 billion in annual travel sales. All our investments stem from a common thesis, that travel advisors add real value to a trip. Travel advisors when equipped with technology and 24/7 support are irreplaceable. Equally important is our philanthropy. Range Foundation channels 10% of group profits to social impact. From exploration grants, improved access to education, new discoveries on sea and land, cultural infrastructure, and helping our global neighbors in times of need — we are investing to build a better future.

This is a hybrid position, currently requiring a minimum of two days per week onsite at our office located at 2 Queen St. E in Toronto, ON.

## THE ROLE

We're hiring a QA Lead to build mobile test automation for our travel platform's native app (React Native/Expo). This would start as an individual-contributor role today, with scope and team expected to grow over time.

- Extend our existing Playwright API test suite to cover backend data sources

- Work with the mobile development team on testability and quality standards
- Align mobile testing practices with the broader QA organization
- Apply testing practices suited to sensitive personal and payment data
- Use AI tools to support test design, automation, and coverage of AI-assisted app development

## REQUIREMENTS

Must have:

- 5+ years of experience as QA, Tester, SDET, or similar, with strong expertise in mobile testing
- Experience building and owning a mobile test automation framework: architecture, CI integration, flaky test mitigation
- Strong hands-on experience with Appium and WebdriverIO
- Solid TypeScript proficiency
- Experience testing REST APIs, ideally with Playwright or similar
- Experience setting up and using cloud device testing platforms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm, or similar)
- Experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines or similar CI/CD tooling
- Experience using AI tools (e.g. Claude) to support test automation work
- Comfortable working as an individual contributor and primary technical owner
- Experience testing applications handling sensitive personal or payment data

Nice to have:

- Background in travel technology or complex platform ecosystems
- Experience testing React Native applications

## COMPENSATION

We provide a competitive compensation package with a strong pay-for-performance rewards approach. Employees have the opportunity to participate in incentive programs and compensation tied to business and individual performance. The expected base salary range for this position is: $100,000 to $120,000 CAD.

The actual compensation may vary depending on local market conditions, geography, and relevant job-related factors such as knowledge, skills, qualifications, experience, and education/training. #LI-Hybrid
