Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement mobile automation frameworks for Android, iOS, and web using tools such as Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, Cypress, or Playwright.
• Develop modular, scalable test systems integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to ensure efficient and reliable automation cycles.
• Oversee release readiness, including validation pipelines for feature flags, staged rollouts, and A/B experiments.
• Validate internal and third-party SDK integrations across various environments (staging, production), ensuring data integrity and compatibility.
• Ensure the integrity of APK/IPA files, including signing, artifacts, and version control.
• Debug complex flows and inspect network traffic using diagnostic tools like Charles Proxy, ADB, and Pluto.
• Monitor and triage issues using platforms such as Firebase Crashlytics and Sentry, collaborating with development teams to resolve root causes.
• Leverage AI-driven testing tools to enhance test coverage, automate scenario generation, and implement self-healing test suites.
• Continuously enhance release quality through improved observability, expanded automation coverage, and refined processes.

Requirements:

• 4 to 7 years of experience as a Mobile SDET or SDET with extensive mobile automation expertise.
• Proficiency in Java, with a strong understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles and clean coding practices.
