Responsibilities:
• Contribute to quality initiatives for mobile client-side experiences, focusing on user interface correctness, visual consistency, and mobile performance metrics.
• Execute a layered test strategy for your squad, primarily focusing on End-to-End (E2E) and integration testing using modern React Native frameworks.
• Identify quality risks in mobile client flows (e.g., cross-platform/OS compatibility (iOS/Android), form validation, and state management) and translate them into actionable Detox automation scripts.
• Drive hands-on testing for client applications, utilizing Appium or Detox for native application automation and validating data integrity through GraphQL queries.
• Advocate for mobile testability, including accessible React Native components, native accessibility identifiers (e.g., {{accessibilityLabel}}), data-testid attributes, and clear error-handling states.
• Partner with developers to ensure UI components and client-side logic are validated early in the development lifecycle.
• Design and maintain robust automation suites using Appium and TypeScript (or JavaScript) to validate complex user workflows.
• Perform API and contract validation for GraphQL schemas to ensure the front-end stays in sync with backend services.
• Integrate automated UI checks into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI, GitHub Actions) and assist in triaging failing checks to maintain a healthy build signal.
• Support performance testing of mobile app load times, resource utilization (memory/CPU), and battery consumption.
• Participate fully in Agile/Scrum processes, ensuring UI quality signals are included in the definition of done.
• Collaborate with Product and Design partners to turn user requirements into reliable automated acceptance tests.

• Hands-on experience testing GraphQL APIs, including writing queries and validating schema-driven responses.
• Proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript and experience building reusable page objects and test utilities.
• Experience with CI/CD integration and a demonstrated ability to reduce flakiness in mobile UI test suites.
• Familiarity with mobile-native debugging tools (e.g., Xcode, Android Studio, Flipper) and observability platforms to isolate client-side errors.
• Experience with native environment setup (simulators/emulators, device farms) for iOS and Android.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred:
• Experience with visual regression testing or accessibility (a11y) testing.
