Senior Flutter Developer Intern Jobs in Chicago, IL

What you'll do:

Mobile is central to how NinjaTrader reaches the next generation of retail traders. Our Flutter-based platform runs on iOS and Android, and the bar for quality is high - traders make real financial decisions on it. As a Sr. Software Engineer in Test on the Mobile team, you will own automation and quality for our mobile applications, working as a peer to Flutter engineers and product managers. You will shape how our apps are built to be testable, not just verify what ships.

In this role you will:

• Architect, build, and maintain a scalable end-to-end mobile automation framework for our Flutter-based iOS and Android applications
• Lead automation efforts across both platforms, with a focus on long-term framework stability and coverage
• Implement and enhance mobile automation using Appium, WebdriverIO, or similar automation frameworks
• Design and enforce a Screen/Page Object Model architecture and project structure that scales with the mobile team
• Write maintainable automation code in TypeScript/JavaScript, establishing standards others build on
• Partner with Flutter engineers on application architecture to identify testability gaps and make automation-friendly design decisions early - before they become late-stage problems
• Own CI/CD integration for mobile test pipelines: tagging strategies (e.g., smoke, regression), automated reporting, and pipeline reliability
• Identify, analyze, and eliminate test flakiness - treating automation reliability as a product quality concern
• Apply AI-assisted development tools - code generation, test generation, failure analysis - to improve coverage and productivity
• Drive improvement in mobile testing tooling and documentation
• Contribute to junior QA team members' growth through code reviews, pairing, and direct feedback
• Uphold NinjaTrader SDLC and information security standards

What you'll need:

• 7+ years of experience in QA engineering and test automation, with significant mobile automation experience
• Proven experience building and scaling mobile E2E automation frameworks for iOS and Android
• Strong hands-on experience with Appium, WebdriverIO, or comparable mobile automation tools
• Demonstrated experience working with mobile engineers on testability-by-design
• Deep understanding of Screen/Page Object Model or equivalent patterns for mobile test architecture
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript
• Experience with CI/CD tooling for mobile delivery, including GitHub Actions
• Experience designing test strategies that integrate into automated pipelines at scale
• Proven proficiency with AI-assisted engineering tools applied responsibly in a mobile QA context
• Track record of improving automation stability and reducing flakiness
• Strong communication and collaboration skills - comfortable as a peer to Flutter engineers and product managers

Bonus points for:

• Hands-on experience with Flutter-native testing tools (flutter_test, integration_test package)
• Familiarity with iOS and Android internals, simulators, and emulators
• Experience with cloud device labs (e.g., Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, or similar)
• API automation testing experience
• Accessibility testing awareness (WCAG or mobile platform standards)
• Financial trading systems or fintech experience

Compensation:

The salary range for this role will be $100,000.00 - $150,000.00 USD. In addition, this position will also receive an annual target bonus of 10%. Bonus pay at NinjaTrader is based on individual performance (50%) as well as company/team performance (50%).

Salary and bonus earnings are only two components of the total compensation package offered by NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader offers a 401K plan through ADP under which the company will match up to 3.5% of employee contributions.
