The engineer will lead the mobile test automation initiative: setting the direction, making the architecture decisions, building the foundation, and bringing the rest of the team along.\nThe role is platform-agnostic. The work covers both iOS and Android. A background in Appium is preferred but, Espresso, XCUITest, Maestro, Detox or another tool is equally relevant.\nResponsibilities\nLead the initiative: define the mobile automation strategy, roadmap and success metrics, and report progress to QA and engineering leadership.\nBuild the framework: design and build the mobile automation framework, owning architecture decisions such as project structure, screen-object or page-object design, configuration, reporting and extensibility.\nIntegrate with CI/CD: connect the mobile suites to the pipeline, covering app build and signing, emulator, simulator or device-farm runs, parallel execution, and merge and release gates driven by test results.\nKeep the suite trustworthy: track flakiness and stability, find root causes, and run a quarantine workflow so that a failing build is a reliable signal.\nShape the test strategy: apply the full test pyramid, moving coverage down to the API, contract or component level wherever an end-to-end UI test is not the right tool.\nModernize existing tests: replace or migrate legacy tests, move teams onto the new framework, and cut pipeline feedback time.\nApply AI where it helps: evaluate and adopt AI-assisted tools for generating and maintaining test scripts, and set guardrails where they fall short.\nRaise the bar: review test code to the same standard as application code, set conventions, and mentor engineers on automation practice.\nPartner across teams: work with mobile developers, backend engineers and product so features are testable from the start.\nNon-negotiable requirements\n5+ years in test automation, including 3+ years automating both iOS and Android production apps.\nHas built a mobile automation framework from scratch and made its architecture decisions, such as project structure, the screen-object pattern or page-object model, configuration, reporting and extensibility.\nHas personally integrated mobile test suites into a CI/CD pipeline (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). This includes app build and signing, emulator/simulator or device-farm execution, parallelization, and turning test results into merge or release gates.\nWrites production-quality code in at least one general-purpose language (Kotlin/Java, Swift, TypeScript/JavaScript or Python). Test code is held to the same review standards as application code.\nHas measurably reduced flakiness in a real suite and can explain the approach: diagnosing root causes, stabilizing waits and synchronization, isolating test data, running quarantine workflows and tracking stability.\nHas led a modernization or migration effort with measurable results, for example replacing a legacy suite, moving teams onto a new framework, or cutting pipeline feedback time.\nUnderstands the full test pyramid and can say when notto write an end-to-end UI test, pushing coverage down to the API, contract or component level instead.\nHas experience with AI automation and AI-assisted tools for test script generation or maintenance, with good judgment about their limits.\nNice to have\nExperience testing in fintech, payments or another regulated industry, including handling sensitive data safely in test environments.\nAPI and contract testing (e.g., REST Assured, Postman/Newman, Pact).\nReal-device cloud platforms (e.g., BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm, Firebase Test Lab).\nBasics of mobile performance, accessibility or security testing.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3877,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Job Boards & Aggregators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T07:08:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":36,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.652,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":10,"expected_fill_days":9,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T16:13:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":18526,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":50060},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=50060"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkalibrr-senior-qa-automation-engineer"}]}
