Automation Quality Engineer_Mobile (SDET)

Role Overview

We are not hiring manual testers. We are looking for an Automation Quality Engineer who builds quality in someone who writes

the app-facing automation and contributes to the code that makes our mobile products testable and reliable. If you think of QE as

engineering writing code, owning frameworks, and shipping confidence with every release this role is for you. Seniority is

not the advantage here; maturity, smartness, and the ability to communicate clearly are what set candidates apart.

Key Responsibilities

Test Automation & Engineering

Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for our mobile apps (Android and iOS) UI, functional, integration, and

regression that run reliably in CI

Write real code alongside the team: build test utilities, harnesses, mocks, and the small pieces of app/service code that make

features testable

Own the automation framework for your area keep it clean, fast, and low-maintenance rather than a source of flaky failures

Mobile Quality & Coverage

Own end-to-end quality for the features you cover, from reading the requirement to shaping the test strategy to signing off on

the release

Test across the mobile surface: API and backend contracts behind the app, performance and responsiveness on real devices,

offline/edge conditions, and cross-device/OS compatibility

Investigate failures to root cause, reproduce cleanly, and file reports crisp enough to need zero follow-up questions

Quality in the Pipeline

Integrate automated checks into the build and release pipeline so quality gates run automatically on every commit and every

deploy

Contribute to shift-left practices catching issues during the build, not after it

Explore AI-assisted testing to generate, maintain, and prioritize tests, and to auto-add coverage based on the nature of changes

Collaboration & Communication

Partner closely with developers during the build raising the bar on testability in design discussions and code reviews

Communicate defects, risks, and trade-offs clearly to developers, product, and leadership, in writing and in conversation

Required Qualifications

2 to 5 years building test automation for mobile apps or strong development skills with a genuine pull toward quality

engineering

Comfort writing production-quality code; able to read a codebase and contribute to it, not only the test-only work

Hands-on experience with mobile test automation frameworks (e.g., Appium, Espresso/XCUITest, or Flutter integration testing

our mobile apps are built in Flutter) and API testing

Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and how automated tests fit into them

Solid fundamentals in at least one modern language (JavaScript/TypeScript, Dart, Python, or Java), version control (Git), and

how mobile apps and their backend services work

Excellent written and spoken communication clear articulation and thoughtful, well-reasoned push-back

Bachelors degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)

Preferred / Nice to Have

Exposure to our stack or its neighbours: Flutter, Node.js, React, REST/MCP-based services

Experience with device farms or cloud device testing (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Firebase Test Lab)

Familiarity with performance, accessibility, or security testing on mobile

Interest in AI-assisted testing using AI tools to generate, maintain, or prioritize tests

Soft Skills / Traits

Maturity and smartness sharp judgment and quick learning matter more than years of experience

Strong communication and articulation, in writing and in conversation, with technical and non-technical audiences

High ownership mentality treats the quality of every release as a personal responsibility

Comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving AI SaaS company

Collaborative works closely with engineering, product, and QA/DevOps teams
