Desirable

• We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Quality Engineer (SDET) to lead our end-to-end quality engineering initiatives across mobile, web, backend, and data platforms
• This role combines deep technical expertise with a forward-thinking, AI-first mindset, driving innovation, scalability, and reliability through advanced automation and intelligent testing strategies
• As a senior member of the team, you will champion modern, AI-enhanced quality practices and help build a culture where continuous improvement, automation-first thinking, and data-driven decisions are embedded at every stage of product development
• Own end-to-end quality across iOS and Android applications and their supporting backend services, ensuring high confidence in weekly (or faster) releases
• Design and implement comprehensive test strategies covering:
• Native mobile applications (iOS & Android)
• Mobile-to-backend integrations (REST APIs, auth flows, event-driven systems)
• Microservices and distributed systems
• Critical web workflows that intersect with mobile journeys
• Device, OS, browser, and network variability
• App lifecycle events, offline behavior, retries, and edge cases
• Ensure critical user journeys are validated across mobile UI → API → backend → web touchpoints, preventing production escapes in high-impact flows
• Partner with engineering teams to embed quality gates into the mobile release lifecycle, including pre-merge validation, release candidate verification, and post-deploy smoke testing
• Drive improvements in testability by introducing better logging, API contracts, observability hooks, feature flags, and deterministic state management
• Establish meaningful quality metrics (crash analytics, defect trends, flaky tests, API reliability, release risk scoring) and surface actionable insights to engineering stakeholders
• Champion shift-left quality by influencing design reviews, API schema discussions, and acceptance criteria early in development
• Leverage AI to enhance mobile, backend, and web testing effectiveness, including:
• AI-assisted test case and test data generation
• Intelligent regression suite prioritization based on code changes
• Predictive defect detection and risk-based testing
• Flaky test detection and automated stabilization insights
• Integrate AI-powered log intelligence, crash clustering, and anomaly detection into quality workflows
• Continuously evaluate and experiment with AI-driven QA tools to increase coverage, reduce maintenance overhead, and accelerate release cycles
• Contribute to building an AI-augmented quality ecosystem that improves speed without compromising reliability
• Design, build, and scale robust automation frameworks using:
• XCUITest, Espresso, Appium (mobile automation)
• Playwright (web and mobile web validation)
• REST Assured or similar tools for API and service validation
• Ensure frameworks are modular, maintainable, and optimized for scale across multiple teams
• Integrate automated validation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.) to enable:
• Pre-merge quality gates
• Parallelized execution
• Environment-aware test runs
• Post-deployment smoke and regression coverage
• Build developer-friendly tooling that enables:
• Self-service test execution
• Real-time reporting and dashboards
• Faster debugging and failure triage
• Scalable test data and environment management
• Continuously reduce flakiness, improve signal quality, and optimize execution time across mobile and backend suites
• Design and execute performance validation across:
• Mobile app startup time and responsiveness
• API latency, throughput, and reliability
• Backend load and stress conditions
• Web performance for critical flows
• Partner with engineering teams to analyze production logs, crash reports, browser telemetry, and service metrics
• Lead root-cause analysis of complex cross-layer defects spanning mobile UI, APIs, backend services, and web surfaces
• Ensure reliability validation is embedded directly into release workflows
• Collaborate closely with mobile engineers, backend developers, web engineers, product managers, DevOps teams, and release managers to define clear, testable requirements and release criteria
• Actively participate in sprint grooming, planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
• Influence best practices around mobile-first design, API contracts, and release readiness
• Support mobile app release activities, including release candidate validation, go/no-go recommendations, and post-release monitoring
• Mentor junior QA engineers and contribute to raising the technical bar in automation and cross-platform validation
• Work effectively with globally distributed teams to coordinate testing across time zones
