Role & Responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain scalable mobile test automation frameworks for Android and iOS using Appium, Espresso, XCUITest or equivalent tools to support continuous delivery.
• Create and own automated test suites (functional, regression, UI, and smoke) that run reliably in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) and on cloud device farms (BrowserStack/Sauce Labs).
• Collaborate with Developers and Product Owners to translate requirements into test strategies, write robust test cases, and automate end-to-end and integration scenarios (including API tests).
• Investigate, triage, and debug failures — use device logs, ADB, Xcode traces, and performance tools to isolate flakiness and reliability issues and drive fixes.
• Integrate automated tests into build pipelines, enforce quality gates, and provide actionable reporting and metrics for release readiness.
• Advocate and implement test automation best practices: code quality, modular frameworks, reusability, CI parallelization, and maintainable test data strategies.

• Experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) and executing on real & virtual device clouds (BrowserStack/Sauce Labs).
• Practical experience with API testing (REST), test frameworks (TestNG/JUnit/Mocha), and source control (Git).
• Solid debugging skills using ADB, Xcode, Android SDK, and familiarity with mobile performance profiling.
• Preferred
• Experience building custom automation frameworks, parallel test execution, and reliability/flakiness reduction strategies.
• Knowledge of CI orchestration, containerized test runners, and mobile security or accessibility testing.
• ISTQB or equivalent QA certification, prior experience in Agile/Scrum teams, and exposure to device lab management.
