What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites across API, web, mobile, and performance-testing domains.
- Build reusable test utilities, fixtures, and frameworks that improve reliability, reduce maintenance effort, support consistent test data, and minimize test flakiness.
- Develop mobile test automation, including simulator and emulator execution, mobile authentication flows, API-mocking strategies, YAML-based test definitions, and mobile CI/CD integration.
- Develop and apply AI-assisted tooling, agents, and reusable skills to support test review, debugging, documentation, automation maintenance, workflow improvement, and developer productivity.
- Support scalable cloud-based load testing using Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, and related infrastructure practices.
- nalyze requirements, test results, defects, logs, traces, and performance metrics to identify risks, root causes, business impact, and opportunities for quality improvement.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines with effective reporting, parallel execution, environment management, and failure analysis.
- Establish QA best practices, coding standards, technical documentation, and troubleshooting guidance for automation and cloud-based testing.
- Review test-automation pull requests and provide clear, actionable feedback on reliability, maintainability, coverage, and overall quality.
- Mentor junior QA analysts and collaborate with development, product, and operations teams to improve testing outcomes throughout the software-development lifecycle.
- Perform other duties as required.
Skills & Abilities - dvanced experience with web, API, mobile, and load-testing frameworks such as Playwright, Jest, Maestro, Artillery, or similar tools.
- Strong experience developing automation with Node.js, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript patterns.
- Experience with iOS and Android mobile testing, including simulator and emulator management, mobile authentication flows, YAML-based test definitions, and mobile CI/CD integration.
- bility to design maintainable automation frameworks using asynchronous patterns, robust error handling, reusable components, and clean coding practices.
- Working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform, including GKE, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and related cloud quality-engineering practices.
- Required hands-on experience using AI-assisted tooling, agents, and skills to support testing, debugging, documentation, code review, workflow automation, or quality-engineering outcomes.
- bility to analyze complex failures using debugging tools, logs, traces, and performance data; troubleshoot reliability issues; and reduce test flakiness.
- Strong communication, documentation, collaboration, presentation, and code-review skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
- bility to mentor others, facilitate technical discussions, influence without direct authority, navigate ambiguity, and manage multiple priorities.
Qualifications - Bachelor's degree.
- 5+ years of relevant experience in quality engineering, software test automation, SDET, or a related role.
- Equivalent additional directly related experience will be considered in lieu of a college degree.
Preferred Qualifications - Hands-on experience with Playwright for complex end-to-end testing scenarios, including authentication, visual testing, and multi-step workflows.
- Hands-on experience with Maestro for mobile test automation, preferably with React Native or native iOS and Android applications.
- Background in API testing, authentication flows, identity platforms, or related application-integration testing.
- Experience deploying or managing Kubernetes workloads on GKE or a similar managed Kubernetes platform.
