Job description

We’re defining what it means to build and deliver the most extraordinary sports and entertainment experiences. Our global team is trailblazing new markets, developing cutting-edge products, and shaping the future of responsible gaming.

Here, “impossible” isn’t part of our vocabulary. You’ll face some of the toughest but most rewarding challenges of your career. They’re worth it. Channeling your inner grit will accelerate your growth, help us win as a team, and create unforgettable moments for our customers.

The Crown Is Yours

As an Android Automation Lead in our flagship Sportsbook team, you will own the test automation strategy and drive its implementation across a large team (50+ FTE) working on a multi-billion-dollar product. You will have plenty of freedom to make an impact, but we also expect a proactive, data-driven approach to deliver real improvements in quality and efficiency. If you are curious, innovative, and ready to lead change, you’ll thrive in this role. Expect your role to be split equally between hands-on technical work and leadership. About 50% of your time will be dedicated to writing code and designing technical solutions, while the other 50% will be spent mentoring team members and guiding our quality initiatives to success.

What you'll do as an Android Automation Lead

• Lead Test Automation and design, develop, and maintain the test automation framework for our mobile Android applications.

• Define clear processes and guidelines that ensure robust test coverage and product quality.

• Ensure that all Engineering Teams are writing tests and following the standards you help to develop.

• Work closely with Engineering, Product, and QA teams to integrate automation into our overall testing strategy.

• Mentor team members through code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions to promote best practices in unit, UI, and other testing types.

• Stay current with industry trends (including AI and other emerging technologies) to keep our approach efficient and innovative.

• Collaborate with Engineering Managers to set realistic quality expectations and provide actionable feedback on performance.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in Android mobile development using Kotlin.

• Solid experience with Jetpack Compose.

• Solid experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Espresso and/or Composer UI Automation for Android).

• Familiarity with security and performance testing practices.

• Knowledge of mobile CI/CD best practices.

• Experience with device farms or cloud testing platforms (such as Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm, or Browserstack) is a plus.

• Practical and results-oriented with a strong bias for action.

• Curious, innovative, and proactive in driving change and experimenting with new ideas.

• Fluency in English.
