Job description

Engineering | India | 8-12 Years

What You Will Own

• We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with 8+ years of experience in mobile application testing, to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate has strong, hands‑on expertise in building Appium‑based automation frameworks (Python preferred; open to other languages such as Java or JavaScript) and brings exhaustive, practical knowledge of Non‑Functional Requirements (NFR) testing for mobile applications including performance, stability, battery/power consumption, memory and CPU profiling, network variability, and security.
• This is a hands‑on engineering role that goes beyond test execution you will design and own test automation architecture and quality strategy for mobile products.

The Scope of Your Influence

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks for Android and iOS applications using Appium.
• Own the end‑to‑end test strategy covering both functional and non‑functional testing of mobile applications.
• Plan and execute exhaustive NFR testing, including:
  • Performance, load, and stress testing under varied usage conditions
  • Stability and endurance (soak) testing
  • Battery/power consumption and memory/CPU profiling
  • Network condition simulation (2G/3G/4G/5G/Wi‑Fi, latency, packet loss, offline behaviour)
  • Device and OS compatibility/fragmentation testing across the Android and iOS ecosystem
  • Baseline security and data‑handling checks for mobile apps
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines for continuous quality feedback.
• Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other SDETs to embed quality throughout the SDLC.
• Analyze test results and failures, and drive root‑cause analysis with engineering teams.
• Define, track, and report quality metrics and KPIs for mobile app releases.
• Evaluate and recommend tools and frameworks for mobile automation and performance/NFR testing.
• Mentor junior QA engineers/SDETs on automation practices and NFR testing methodology.

Where Your Expertise Meets Our Future

• 8+ years of overall experience in software testing, with a significant and recent focus on mobile application testing (Android and/or iOS).
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with Appium (or equivalent) for mobile test automation Python preferred, though open to Java, JavaScript, or similar languages.
• Proven experience working as an SDET building automation frameworks and tooling from the ground up, not only executing pre‑written tests.
• Exhaustive, hands‑on knowledge of NFR testing for mobile applications: performance, load/stress, stability, memory/CPU/battery profiling, network condition simulation, and device/OS compatibility.
• Experience with mobile performance and profiling tools such as Android Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Charles Proxy/Proxyman, or Firebase Performance Monitoring.
• Solid understanding of mobile app architecture (native, hybrid, or cross‑platform) and experience testing REST/GraphQL APIs.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
• Strong programming/scripting skills and familiarity with version control (Git).
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and root‑cause analysis skills.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross‑functionally with engineering and product teams.

Good to have

• Experience with cloud‑based device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm, Firebase Test Lab).
• Exposure to mobile security testing practices/tools (OWASP MASVS, MobSF).
• Knowledge of accessibility testing for mobile applications.
• ISTQB or equivalent software testing certification.
• Prior experience mentoring or leading a QA/automation team.
• Familiarity with the generative AI area to assist with testing strategies and execution
