About RA

Resident Advisor has been a home for electronic music culture since 2001. Event discovery, ticketing, news and long-form editorial, artist profiles, original films, and a weekly mix series two decades deep. Around 7 million people use the web platform every month, with a wider audience across our apps and other channels. Underneath the platform sits a network of contributors and city managers across dozens of cities, which is how we stay connected to the scenes we cover rather than reporting on them from a distance. RA is 25 years old, independent, B.Corp certified and intent on being indispensable to the artists, promoters and audiences who make this culture.

Purpose of the role

As our Senior QA Engineer, you'll look after the quality of ra.co, our iOS and Android apps, and RA Scan, the app promoters use to scan tickets at the door. You'll work across five product teams. Each team writes and runs its own tests. You'll help them do it well, keep the automated test suites healthy, and test the riskiest releases yourself.

Some of what we ship carries real risk: payments,



checkout, and getting people into venues on the night. Other changes are a line of copy. You'll help us tell the two apart and test each one accordingly. We use AI tools across development, and you'll help the teams use them to write better tests, faster.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep the web end-to-end test suite healthy: fix flaky tests, add coverage for new features, and make sure a failing suite gets fixed quickly
• Grow automated testing for our iOS and Android apps and RA Scan with the app developers, so mobile tests run on every change
• Test high-risk releases yourself, such as payments and checkout, including edge cases and what happens when things fail
• Review the test plans teams write, and help them improve
• Use AI tools to write and maintain tests, help developers do the same, and check what the tools produce
• Brief our external testing partner and review the results they
