Position Summary
The Intermediate to Senior Software Development Engineer in Test is responsible for driving quality through a combination of strong engineering practices and hands-on testing. You will architect and implement automation frameworks while complementing them with thoughtful manual testing to validate complex workflows and edge cases.
You approach testing as a software problem—building reliable, maintainable systems that continuously validate product behavior. Working cross-functionally with engineering and product teams, you ensure quality is built into every stage of development, from design and implementation to release and post-production monitoring.
In this role, you will:
Test Framework & Infrastructure
- Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks from the ground up for iOS and Android (Appium, Expresso and XCUITEST), and Web (Playwright / Selenium).
- Develop and maintain reusable test libraries, data builders, and mocking utilities that other engineers can consume.
- Instrument test pipelines for observability — flakiness dashboards, coverage reports, and failure triage tooling.
CI/CD Integration & Shift-Left Quality
- Integrate automated test suites as quality gates within CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or equivalent); ensure build failures surface in <30 minutes.
- Champion shift-left testing: participate in design and architecture reviews to identify testability risks early; influence API contracts, feature flags, and observability hooks.
- Collaborate with DevOps/Platform to define and enforce test environment parity between staging and production.
Test Strategy & Execution
- Define and own the end-to-end test strategy for assigned product areas, including functional, integration, E2E, regression, performance, and contract testing.
- Write, review, and maintain high-quality test plans and test cases derived from product and technical requirements across iOS, Android, and Web.
- Lead peer reviews of test code and test cases to ensure depth, breadth, and maintainability of coverage.
- Perform exploratory, risk-based testing to surface edge cases beyond scripted scenarios.
Quality Advocacy & Defect Management
- Serve as the quality owner for one or more delivery squads; track development progress and proactively surface risks and issues related to quality deliverables.
- Triage, document, and prioritize defects in Jira with clear reproduction steps, severity classification, and root-cause analysis.
- Analyze automated test execution results to distinguish genuine failures from test infrastructure noise; drive remediation of both.
- Mentor on automation best practices, clean test code, and testing strategy.
About You:
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience
- 4+ years of experience in software development and/or quality engineering, with a strong emphasis on test automation engineering.
- Demonstrated ability to design and implement test automation frameworks from scratch — not just maintain existing ones.
- Hands-on programming proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and preferably one or more of: Swift (mobile), Python, Java or Kotlin for test code.
- Deep expertise in mobile testing on real iOS and Android devices; experience with Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso.
- Experience integrating test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Jenkins, or similar, Docker).
- Strong command of API testing (REST/GraphQL), including contract testing with tools such as Pact or Postman/Newman.
- Experience with performance and load testing (e.g., Gatling, k6, Locust) is a strong plus.
- Solid understanding of software development fundamentals: version control (Git), code review, clean code principles, and agile delivery practices.
- Experience with agentic workflows and AI-driven test orchestration
