We9re looking for a Quality Engineer to join Snap Inc. and help us deliver new, exciting experiences through Direct Revenue. You will be joining at a pivotal moment. We are evolving from embedded, feature-by-feature testing toward owning quality for end-to-end user experiences that span multiple teams and surfaces. As AI-assisted testing increasingly covers routine feature correctness, this role concentrates on the highest-risk cross-team experiences, release readiness, and the non-functional qualities (accessibility, compatibility, privacy, compliance, etc.) that make Snapchat experiences feel great. You will help shape how a modern, high-leverage QE team operates.

What you9ll do:

• Own quality for end-to-end Direct Revenue experiences that cross multiple teams, prioritizing the highest-risk user journeys over exhaustive feature-by-feature coverage.
• Independently define and drive the test strategy for new, unreleased features and premium experiences.
• Define, build, and maintain high-signal automation for the critical paths and end-to-end flows that matter most (device/OS compatibility, accessibility, privacy, compliance, localization), while enabling feature developers to own their feature-level coverage.
• Diagnose, debug, and perform root cause analysis for defects, document your findings, collaborate cross-functionally to triage, and champion resolution of your bugs.
• Use AI to accelerate development, unblock yourself, and drive higher efficiency, while applying strong judgment, best practices, and domain expertise to ensure high impact solutions.
• Own release readiness and quality sign-off for your feature domain, and participate in on-call rotations.
• Review code and test pull requests across platforms, using review to raise the quality bar beyond your own changes.
• Partner with adjacent and dependency teams to map cross-team dependencies and surface quality risk at the seams where features integrate, aligning on who covers what so the end-to-end experience holds together across surfaces.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

• Proficiency with object-oriented programming in Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, or similar.
• Experience with client and/or mobile test automation frameworks. e.g., XCTest/XCUITest, Selenium WebDriver, Appium, Espresso, etc.
• Highly experienced in defining/building/maintaining test coverage for client/mobile applications for a variety of smartphones/tablets.
• Deep understanding of quality-related agile methodologies and experience applying them throughout the SDLC.
• Hands-on experience using AI in an engineering workflow, with sound judgment about where AI helps and where human validation is required.
• Proficient with standard QE and engineering tooling: Test suite/case management tools (e.g., TestRail), version control (e.g., GitHub), issue tracking (e.g., Jira), and debugging tools (e.g., Chrome Dev Tools, Charles Proxy, Postman).
• Strong verbal and written communication skills. e.g., Whiteboarding/diagramming system behavior
• Proven experience demonstrating analytical thinking, reporting, leadership, customer focus and collaboration.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor9s Degree in a relevant technical field such as computer science or equivalent years of practical work experience.
• 3+ years of post-Bachelor9s experience in software testing and/or software development; or Master9s degree in a technical field + 2+ year of post-grad testing or software development experience; or PhD in a relevant technical field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in a distributed product-team environment.
• Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and/or Google Cloud.
• Experience with continuous integration/delivery systems.
