Build and extend automated test suites for functional, regression, integration and end-to-end coverage

Develop automated tests using Espresso, UI Automator, Appium or similar Android testing frameworks

Integrate Android test automation into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Bitrise or similar platforms

Execute automated tests across Android emulators and physical devices

Partner with Android engineers to improve application testability and automation coverage

Investigate test failures, identify root causes and improve automation stability and reliability

Validate application behavior across different Android versions, device types and configurations

Contribute to mobile automation architecture, tooling standards and testing best practices

Identify gaps in automated coverage and prioritize high-value scenarios for automation

Evaluate and adopt new Android automation tools and technologies where appropriate

Use AI-assisted tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or similar platforms to improve test development, debugging, root-cause analysis, documentation and workflow efficiency

Experience working closely with software engineers to improve testability and resolve complex defects

Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across Engineering, Product and QA teams

Ability and willingness to use AI-assisted tools effectively to improve automation development, debugging, analysis and documentation

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent practical experience

Nice to Have

Experience with cloud-based mobile device testing platforms such as Firebase Test Lab, BrowserStack or Sauce Labs

Experience with Jetpack Compose testing

Familiarity with Android accessibility, performance or network-condition testing

Experience testing authentication, biometrics, passkeys, MFA or other security-sensitive mobile workflows
