The Role
Lead design and implement scalable mobile automation frameworks for Android and iOS using Espresso and XCUITest. Build parallel execution strategies, integrate with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), enable cloud test execution (Sauce Labs), implement reporting and failure diagnostics, resolve flaky/device-specific issues, and mentor engineers to improve automation quality and efficiency.
Summary Generated by Built In
As a Lead Mobile Automation Engineer, you will:
- Architect, design, and implement scalable, modular, and maintainable automation frameworks for mobile applications across Android and iOS platforms.
- Develop and maintain automation frameworks for native Android applications using Espresso and native iOS applications using XCUITest.
- Implement advanced automation design patterns such as the Robot / Robotic Pattern to ensure readable, reusable, and maintainable test flows.
- Establish and manage parallel execution strategies across multiple devices, OS versions, and testing environments.
- Define and enforce automation best practices, coding standards, and framework governance.
- Integrate automation frameworks with CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps.
- Enable and manage cloud-based mobile test execution using platforms such as Sauce Labs.
- Optimize automation pipelines to improve execution speed, stability, and scalability.
- Implement comprehensive reporting, logging, screenshot capture, and video recording mechanisms for failure analysis.
- Diagnose and resolve CI execution failures, device-specific issues, and intermittent automation problems.
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and DevOps teams to align automation initiatives with release goals.
What You Bring to the Table:
- 10+ years of experience in software testing with a strong focus on mobile test automation.
