Join Mobileum Team

At Mobileum we recognize that our team is the main reason for our success. What does work with us mean? Opportunities!

Role: Technical Lead – SDET (Test Automation)

About the Job:

We are hiring Technical Leads – SDET to own the architecture and delivery of test automation for Mobileum's telecom products. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role: you will write code, design frameworks, set automation standards, and mentor a team of SDETs while partnering closely with development and DevOps.

SDET here means engineering-grade quality: you build the frameworks and utilities others rely on, embed testing into CI/CD, and treat tests as durable engineering assets — not brittle scripts

Design and own scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks (UI, API, integration, E2E).
Set automation standards, patterns (e.g., Page Object Model, fixtures), and code-review practices.
Mentor SDETs; raise the engineering bar across the team.
Build automated suites for functional, integration, regression, and E2E coverage across products.
Develop reusable test utilities, test data management, and environment provisioning for tests.
Drive API and contract testing (RestAssured/Postman) and service‑level validation.

CI/CD & Shift-Left

Integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines as quality gates for continuous delivery.
Champion shift-left testing and fast, reliable feedback loops.
Reduce flakiness and regression cycle time (including AI-assisted prioritization where useful)

Performance Engineering (primary focus for one of the two seats).

Design and execute load, stress, soak, spike, and scalability tests using JMeter, Gatling, k6, or Locust.
Define performance benchmarks, SLAs/SLOs, and capacity models for high-throughput telecom workloads.
Perform bottleneck analysis and profiling across application, database, infrastructure, and network layers using APM/observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace).

Collaboration & Quality Analysis

Partner with developers, DevOps, and telecom architects to build testability into design.
Analyze pre‑production and production issues; close test gaps and improve coverage.
Translate roaming/telecom‑specific logic into robust automated validation.

Desired Profile:

Programming & Frameworks

Strong coding in Java and/or Python (TypeScript/JS a plus).
API testing: RestAssured, Postman; contract testing.
CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI; Git‑based workflows.
Test architecture, design patterns, and framework maintainability.
Docker/Kubernetes exposure for test environments (OpenShift a plus).

Performance Engineering (required for the perf-focused seat, desirable for both)

Load tooling: JMeter, Gatling, k6, Locust.
APM & profiling: Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace/New Relic; bottleneck analysis and capacity planning.

Telecom Domain

Familiarity with telecom/roaming data and protocols (GTP, Diameter, SS7, SIP).
Exposure to CDR/SDR/TAP validation and 4G/5G core concepts a strong plus.

Technical skills:

Proven ability to mentor engineers and set automation strategy
Strong debugging and problem‑solving in distributed systems
Excellent communication and cross‑functional collaboration
For the performance seat: demonstrable experience owning performance testing for high‑scale systems

Good to have:
