Senior QA Engineer and SDET focused on quality at scale and automation.
Bosnia and HerzegovinaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Engineer and SDET with a track record of delivering quality at scale, most recently as a core contributor to Goodnotes—the #1 note-taking app on the App Store with over 60 million monthly active users. I own QA strategy end-to-end across iOS, macOS, and web, with deep expertise in AI feature testing, cross-platform automation, and shift-left practices that reduce production defects.
At Goodnotes, I led QA across 5 cross-functional teams over 2 years—often in parallel—covering iOS/macOS applications and AI-driven backend services. I validated weekly AI feature backend deployments, scaled automated testing across platforms (including thousands of XCUI tests), introduced and scaled Playwright (TypeScript) for web, and contributed to a Cypress-to-Playwright migration.
I also act as QA release owner on rotation, ensuring quality and stability of high-frequency weekly production releases. I champion shift-left testing culture, define and standardize QA processes adopted across multiple teams, mentor QA engineers, and conduct technical interviews, leveraging AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Notion AI to accelerate QA workflows.
