What You Will Own
- We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 8+ years of experience in mobile application testing, to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate has strong, hands-on expertise in building Appium-based automation frameworks (Python preferred; open to other languages such as Java or JavaScript) and brings exhaustive, practical knowledge of Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) testing for mobile applications — including performance, stability, battery/power consumption, memory and CPU profiling, network variability, and security.
- This is a hands-on engineering role that goes beyond test execution — you will design and own test automation architecture and quality strategy for mobile products.
Where Your Expertise Meets Our Future
- 8+ years of overall experience in software testing, with a significant and recent focus on mobile application testing (Android and/or iOS).
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with Appium (or equivalent) for mobile test automation — Python preferred, though open to Java, JavaScript, or similar languages.
- Proven experience working as an SDET — building automation frameworks and tooling from the ground up, not only executing pre-written tests.
- Exhaustive, hands-on knowledge of NFR testing for mobile applications: performance, load/stress, stability, memory/CPU/battery profiling, network condition simulation, and device/OS compatibility.
- Experience with mobile performance and profiling tools such as Android Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Charles Proxy/Proxyman, or Firebase Performance Monitoring.
- Solid understanding of mobile app architecture (native, hybrid, or cross-platform) and experience testing REST/GraphQL APIs.
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
- Strong programming/scripting skills and familiarity with version control (Git).
- Excellent analytical, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with engineering and product teams.
Good to have
- Experience with cloud-based device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm, Firebase Test Lab).
- Exposure to mobile security testing practices/tools (OWASP MASVS, MobSF).
- Knowledge of accessibility testing for mobile applications.
- ISTQB or equivalent software testing certification.
- Prior experience mentoring or leading a QA/automation team.
- Familiarity with the generative AI area to assist with testing strategies and execution
The Scope of Your Influence
- Design, build, and maintain scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks for Android and iOS applications using Appium.
- Own the end-to-end test strategy covering both functional and non-functional testing of mobile applications.
- Plan and execute exhaustive NFR testing, including:
- Performance, load, and stress testing under varied usage conditions
- Stability and endurance (soak) testing
- Battery/power consumption and memory/CPU profiling
- Network condition simulation (2G/3G/4G/5G/Wi-Fi, latency, packet loss, offline behaviour)
- Device and OS compatibility/fragmentation testing across the Android and iOS ecosystem
- Baseline security and data-handling checks for mobile apps
- Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality feedback.
- Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other SDETs to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
- Analyze test results and failures, and drive root-cause analysis with engineering teams.
- Define, track, and report quality metrics and KPIs for mobile app releases.
- Evaluate and recommend tools and frameworks for mobile automation and performance/NFR testing.
- Mentor junior QA engineers/SDETs on automation practices and NFR testing methodology.
