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.

Minimum 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.

• 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
