Role Overview

We're at the forefront of adopting AI in test automation through context engineering. Our QA engineers use Claude Code to generate production-quality UI tests from PRDs.

We're evolving the SDET role to include AI-assisted development — you'll be part of shaping that direction.

The role:

- Write and maintain XCUI tests (iOS) and Espresso tests (Android)

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated regression on every PR (we use GitHub workflows)

- Design and implement test architecture using Robot Pattern for scalable, maintainable test suites

- Leverage AI-assisted test generation through context engineering with Claude Code

- Own end-to-end quality for mobile releases — from test planning to execution

- Own and scale our in-house physical device lab — adding more devices, improving concurrency, and maintaining infrastructure

- Own test reporting, metrics, and pipeline reliability to ensure smooth and consistent automation delivery

What we expect:

- 4–6 years in mobile test automation

- Experience with any one of: XCUI (Swift) or Espresso (Kotlin)

- Understanding of Robot Pattern

- Hands-on with CI/CD — we use GitHub workflows

- Bonus: experience with AI-powered development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar)
