What you'll be doing
Own the mobile test strategy
- Define and evolve a pragmatic test pyramid for React Native - deciding where E2E is worth the weight and where logic belongs in faster layers (Jest, React Testing Library, component tests).
- Make deliberate calls about coverage, reliability, and speed trade-offs across the app.
- Set the bar for what "ready to ship" looks like on mobile, and hold the line on it.
Build reliable E2E automation
- Create and maintain mobile E2E suites in Maestro, including the scaffolding around them - test data, device configuration, helpers, reporting.
- Integrate suites into CI (GitHub Actions) so engineers get fast, trustworthy feedback on every PR and release candidates carry a signal people actually believe.
- Drive flakiness down and time-to-diagnosis down. We treat a flaky test the same way we treat a broken test, and we expect root-cause work rather than retry-until-green.
Bring AI into the SDLC
- Use AI tools day-to-day to accelerate test authoring, cluster failures, surface coverage insights, and propose fixes.
- Decide where AI adds leverage and where a human eye is needed. A suite that looks comprehensive but isn't trustworthy is worse than a smaller one we rely on.
- Help shape how the mobile team uses AI-assisted workflows more broadly - prompts, guardrails, review patterns.
Prevent defects, not just catch them
- Partner with product and engineering on shift-left quality: join specs early, push back on ambiguous acceptance criteria, and surface risk before code is written.
- Close the loop on production issues using our observability stack (Datadog, Sentry, Grafana) - tying test coverage back to real customer impact.
- Run targeted exploratory testing on high-risk releases when it's the right call.
What we're looking for
Essential
- 6+ years in quality engineering or test automation, with a track record of keeping automated suites stable rather than letting them rot into a graveyard of quarantined tests.
- Strong TypeScript and JavaScript - not just writing test scripts, but building helpers, tooling, and debugging into the app when needed.
- Appium, device farms, or emulator/simulator orchestration at scale.
- Hands-on with Maestro or Detox.
- Experience shaping CI/CD pipelines for test reliability (GitHub Actions or similar), including flakiness reduction, parallelisation, artefact management, and runtime control.
- Comfortable with mobile E2E automation, or strong E2E experience on another platform plus a credible plan for getting productive on mobile quickly. We use Maestro on React Native with TypeScript and Expo - familiarity helps, but we'll back someone strong to ramp.
- Able to operate independently and drive improvements end-to-end (frameworks, CI, test data, reporting).
Desirable
- Hands-on experience testing React Native apps.
- Mobile performance and reliability work (crash reporting, startup time, memory and battery awareness).
- API and contract testing experience, with a point of view on test data and environment strategy.
- Native mobile fundamentals (Swift or Kotlin) for when a React Native abstraction leaks.
- Prior work introducing AI-assisted testing practices (test generation, failure clustering, coverage analytics) with sensible controls around review and trust.
