- Curiosity about how mobile and web apps work and how they break
- Attention to detail and patience with repetitive checks
- Clear writing in English
- Comfortable using both iOS and Android, and open to learning SQL

Desirable

What the job involves

- You test our consumer mobile app and our business web platform alongside experienced engineers
- Test on real iOS and Android devices, by script and by exploration
- Run release checklists before each app release
- Check the web platform against written acceptance criteria and record results with evidence
- Send API requests with Postman and check the responses
- Write and run your first automated tests with Appium or Playwright, with code review
- Write clear, reproducible bug reports and follow them through to a fix
- Maintain test data and test accounts, never using real customer data
- Effectively deploy and use AI agents
Our take
Car-sharing provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to car ownership, particularly in large cities where congestion is high and parking space is at a premium. Founded in 2016, MILES has made it easy for German and Belgian commuters to get around without owning a car or getting on a bus.
The German ride-sharing sector is quite heavily contested, and while MILES is one of the larger providers, it lacks the customer base of its primary rival, SHARE NOW. Where it hopes to compete is in its pricing plan, which is measured by distance rather than minutes, providing a less pressured experience for its customers. So far, this has worked well for the company, allowing it to multiply its revenue year on year and achieve profitability only four years after its founding. It currently serves more than 200,000 customers and has a fleet of over 13,000 vehicles.
MILES acquired the car-sharing arm of Volkswagen in 2022 and integrated it into its own offering. Aside from increasing the size of MILES' fleet, part of the deal allows VW customers to book cars through their existing VW mobility app, increasing MILES' customer base. MILES is working to increase the electrification of its fleet, expand its market presence in Germany and Belgium, and develop new products for its customers, such as longer-term rentals and city-to-city rides.
