Staff Test Engineer, Faraday Future

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline
• 7+ years testing mobile and web applications, including 3+ years architecting/owning automation frameworks on a scale
• Proficiency with XCUITest/XCTest and Espresso/UI Automator; exposure to Appium for cross‑platform scenarios
• Strong web/UI automation with Playwright or Cypress and API automation using Postman/Newman or REST Assured; solid TypeScript/JavaScript or Kotlin/Swift fundamentals
• Deep understanding of mobile fundamentals: app/scene/activity lifecycles, background limits (Doze/App Standby/BGTaskScheduler), deep links, notifications, permissions, and networking
• Performance engineering: Instruments, Android Profiler/Perfetto, Crashlytics; ability to reduce cold start, jank, memory churn, and battery/network overhead
• CI/CD at scale; device‑cloud operation; proven ability to stabilize flaky suites and optimize runtime
• Clear written communication that turns into actionable risks and release decisions

Desirable

• As a Staff Test Engineer (Client Applications) in our Crypto projects, you will own the end‑to‑end quality strategy and execution for iOS and Android apps and platform websites
• You will translate requirements into scalable test plans and automation, architect and maintain mobile‑first and web/API test frameworks in CI/CD, and publish decisive, actionable quality signals
• You’ll partner with Product, Design, and Engineering to drive design‑for‑testability, performance and reliability validation, and release readiness—focused on crypto use cases (real‑time data, account/KYC, payments, and secure integrations)
• Strategy & Governance: Define risk‑based coverage, entry/exit gates, and traceability; standardize test plans and device/OS matrices
• Mobile & Web Testing: Execute functional/regression/smoke/exploratory, cross‑device/browser, localization, and accessibility (VoiceOver/TalkBack) testing; reproduce issues and verify fixes
• Automation Architecture: Build XCUITest/XCTest and Espresso/UI Automator suites (use Appium when cross‑platform is appropriate) and Playwright/Cypress for web; apply Page/Screen Object patterns, resilient locators, parallel runs, and flake control to keep CI green
• API & Integration: Validate REST/GraphQL flows end‑to‑end (auth, payments, identity); employ mocks/stubs and contract testing where needed; inspect traffic with Charles/Proxyman
• Performance & Reliability: Measure startup, frame time/jank, memory/CPU/network/battery; track crash‑free sessions/ANRs; use Xcode Instruments, Android Profiler/Perfetto, and Crashlytics; collaborate on fixes and verify improvements
• Crypto Essentials: Validate real‑time WebSocket/streaming UI behavior (order lists, tickers), rate‑limit/backoff/reconnect handling, and precision‑sensitive workflows (prices/quantities/fees, deterministic rounding & idempotency)
• CI/CD & Environments: Integrate tests into GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins; run on device clouds (e.g., Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm, BrowserStack) with artifacts (videos/screenshots/logs); manage test data and environment config; enforce merge/release gates
• Reporting & Release: Produce concise dashboards and go/no‑go recommendations; support phased rollouts, feature flags/remote config, and post‑release monitoring
