QA Engineer — Mobile & Payment Flows (Freelance)

About this role

Location: India — must currently be based in India

Format: Ongoing part-time freelance work

Workload: Several tasks per week; volume may vary

The role

We are a product company behind Nebula, an astrology and spiritual wellness app with 70M+ users. India is one of our key markets.

We need someone who can help us verify real-world product experiences — from device-specific behavior and local phone and payment flows to market-specific user scenarios.

This is an ongoing part-time role combining hands-on QA, product flow checks and occasional competitor research.

Your tasks

• Payment testing: run predefined payment scenarios using local payment methods and report the results.
• Release checks: verify critical login, OTP and other user flows after releases.
• Mobile QA: test specific flows on a real Android device and reproduce issues when needed.
• Product research: explore features, record specific user journeys and occasionally research competitor apps.
• Reporting: provide a short description of what you tested, what happened and relevant screenshots or screen recordings.

Some tasks will be recurring, while others may come from different product teams on an ad-hoc basis.

Payment testing

For some scenarios, you may need to make a test transaction using your own eligible local payment method.

The full amount of approved test transactions will be reimbursed. You will never be asked to make a deposit or permanently cover testing costs.

What you’ll need

Must-have:

• Currently based in India
• Android smartphone with an active Indian SIM that can receive OTPs
• Working Indian payment method — UPI / locally issued card
• Hands-on QA/testing experience
• Clear written English
• Ability to capture screenshots and screen recordings
• Willingness to provide proof of execution for completed tasks

Nice to have

• Mobile QA experience
• Payments / fintech / subscription testing
• Production smoke or regression testing
• Product or competitor research experience
• What we value
• You don't need to be a senior QA engineer. What matters most is that we can trust you to get the job done.
• Ownership — you complete tasks without being chased and flag blockers early.
• Attention to detail — you report what actually happened, not assumptions.
• Proof of work — you provide screenshots, recordings or other relevant evidence.
• What’s next
• Application → Short video introduction → Short test task → Contract start
