Job summary

Sesame is building a mobile quality team and hiring the first dedicated automation engineer for the apps. You will own iOS and Android test automation within our CI, delivering signals for nightly and release builds and maintaining parity across platforms.

You will automate onboarding, chats, payments, notifications, and settings, and write clear bug repro steps for engineers. Collaboration with app engineers is essential for shifting checks into unit/integration tests.

Qualifications

• 7-8 years in software QA / test engineering.
• 4+ years building mobile test automation for iOS and/or Android.
• Hands-on with at least one mobile framework: XCUITest, XCTest, Espresso, Appium, Maestro, Detox, or similar.
• Strong scripting/programming; can build harnesses and small tools yourself.
• Has integrated tests into CI/CD or a release pipeline.
• Can debug a flaky failure and hand engineering something useful.
• Understands release risk and how to prioritize what gets tested.
• Comfortable when builds change often and specs aren't finished.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the iOS and Android test automation that runs in our CI.
• Deliver a real quality signal on nightly, weekly, and release builds: what runs as a quick sanity check, what runs as deeper regression, and parity across iOS and Android.
• Automate onboarding, text and voice chats, payments, notifications, and settings; verify outputs, not just screens.
• When something fails, write it up so an engineer can fix it without reproducing it from scratch.
• Help triage bugs automatically and separate app, backend, OS, device, network, and test-harness problems.
• Improve robustness and reliability through better isolation, data, checks, and retries.
• Keep dashboard, TestRail, known issues, and release notes in sync for risk visibility before shipping.
• Work with app engineers to move checks into unit or integration tests.
