QA Automation Engineer, Hybrid

Job Responsibilities

As a QA Automation Engineer (Mobile & Frontend), the candidate is expected to perform the following duties:

Core Development Tasks:

Write clean, testable, and well-documented Mobile Automation Tasks; Design, execute, and maintain automated test scripts for iOS and Android platforms using modern mobile testing tools, effectively managing device-specific gestures, OS nuances, and viewport sizes.

Frontend Web Testing:

Build robust end-to-end (E2E) and functional UI test suites for modern, component-driven web frameworks (e.g., Next.js, React) to ensure cross-browser compatibility and seamless state management.

CI/CD Pipeline Integration:

Embed automated test suites into continuous integration and delivery pipelines, executing tests efficiently across containerized staging and pre-production environments.

Defect Isolation and Diagnostics:

Identify, document, and track software defects with precision. Collaborate directly with software engineers to isolate visual regressions, state errors, and mobile performance bottlenecks to verify hotfixes.

Documentation and Quality Standards:

Create and maintain technical documentation for automated testing frameworks, test plans, and coverage reports, ensuring all testing processes are transparent and maintainable across teams.

Qualifications

Educational Background:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Equivalent practical experience, certifications, or a strong portfolio demonstrating test automation frameworks will also be considered.

Quality Assurance Experience:

3 to 5 years of hands-on software quality assurance experience, with a proven focus on automated mobile and web UI testing.

Mobile Testing Tools:

Practical experience with mobile automation frameworks such as Appium, Detox, or Maestro.

Web Automation Frameworks:

Strong proficiency with modern web automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium.

Programming and Scripting:

Solid scripting and development proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript for building clean, maintainable test scripts and custom runner configurations.

Version Control and Mobile Distribution:

Experience with Git workflows and mobile app distribution platforms (e.g., Apple TestFlight, Google Play Internal Testing tracks).

Soft Skills:

• Acute attention to detail with a methodical, root-cause-driven approach to problem-solving.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to clearly articulate technical issues to development teams.
• Strong self-motivation and eagerness to continuously adopt and adapt to modern testing frameworks.
• Ability to work independently as a dedicated QA authority while collaborating effectively within an Agile team.
• Strong analytical, planning, and problem-solving skills;

Architecture Exposure:

Experience testing decoupled/headless web architectures (e.g., Next.js frontends connected to API backends).

Performance Profiling:

Familiarity with mobile app performance profiling, including resource usage (CPU, memory, battery) and network latency under simulated loads.

Containerization Exposure:

Basic experience with Docker and local containerized staging environments.

Metrics and Scorecards:

Familiarity with tracking key performance indicators, test coverage ratios, or contributing data to engineering scorecards
