Maintain Android automation testing frameworks for apps, SDKs, and APIs
Develop and expand Espresso-based UI tests, including Jetpack Compose UI testing
Design automation patterns that reduce brittleness (stable selectors, synchronization, architecture)
Create and maintain automated suites (UI, functional, integration, regression) for CI readiness
Debug failures efficiently (triage logs, screenshots, repro steps) and drive reliability improvements
Partner with engineers to improve testability (hooks, IDs, test seams, debug tooling)
Contribute to automation documentation and onboarding guides for long-term maintainability

Bachelor’s in CS/SE or equivalent experience
Strong hands-on experience building Android automation testing in production environments
Proficiency with Espresso and experience testing Jetpack Compose UI
Solid Kotlin (preferred) or Java coding skills (debugging, reading code, writing testable code)
Familiarity with Gradle, Git, and CI pipelines
Experience testing RESTful APIs and validating backend-integrated flows
Clear communication skills (writeups, bug reports, PR reviews, technical explanations)

Experience building or extending automation frameworks (architecture patterns, utilities, libraries)
Experience with UI Automator or Appium (as needed for system-level scenarios)
Experience with test stabilization (flake detection, retry strategy, quarantine workflows, signal metrics)
Experience with device/lab environments and execution at scale
Experience with test result reporting, aggregation, and dashboards
Familiarity with Maps/location frameworks is a plus
