QA-інженер

About Us:

We are looking for a highly skilled and proactive Senior-Lead QA Automation Engineer to join our engineering team and take ownership of test automation and quality practices, with a strong focus on mobile applications.

Our products rely heavily on mobile experiences, including apps built with Flutter, and require a robust, scalable, and reliable approach to test automation. 70% of our users use mobile apps.

This role goes beyond writing tests — it is about building a sustainable mobile automation ecosystem, improving engineering processes, and ensuring consistent product quality across the entire development lifecycle.

The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on expertise in mobile automation with a systems mindset and takes full ownership of quality as an engineering discipline.

Core Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks with a strong focus on mobile applications (iOS/Android), including Flutter-based apps.

• Define and evolve a mobile-first automation strategy, balancing UI, API, and integration testing for optimal coverage and stability.
• Develop robust automated test suites for mobile UI, including handling asynchronous behavior, animations, and platform-specific differences.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring reliable execution across devices, emulators, and environments.
• Collaborate closely with Mobile Developers, Product Owners, and DevOps to ensure testability and embed quality early in the SDLC.
• Drive best practices for mobile test architecture, test data handling, and environment stability.
• Perform root-cause analysis of defects, with a focus on complex mobile-specific issues (state, network conditions, device fragmentation).
• Participate in code reviews for both application and test code, ensuring maintainability and scalability.
• Support release cycles with clear quality signals, including mobile-specific metrics (crash-free rate, test stability, coverage).

Typical Requirements:

Experience

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in QA with a strong focus on automation.
• Proven experience in mobile test automation (iOS/Android).
• Experience working with applications built on Flutter is highly desirable.
• Solid understanding of SDLC, Agile/Scrum methodologies, and quality engineering principles.

Technical Test Automation Skills

• Strong expertise in mobile automation frameworks:
• Appium / WebdriverIO (mobile) / Detox / Espresso / XCUITest or similar.
• Experience testing Flutter applications, including understanding of widget-based UI and common testing challenges.
• Strong knowledge of UI automation (Playwright / Selenium / Cypress is a plus, but not primary).

Hands-on experience in API testing:

• Postman / Newman / REST Assured or similar tools.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language:
• Python / Java / JavaScript / TypeScript.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for mobile testing:
• Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, including running tests on emulators or device farms.
• Understanding of mobile-specific challenges: device fragmentation, OS differences, network variability, app lifecycle.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical thinking and ability to break down complex mobile behaviors into testable scenarios.
• High level of ownership and accountability for product quality.
• Ability to work independently and proactively identify risks in mobile user flows.
• Clear and structured communication with cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Flutter integration testing (integration_test, flutter_driver legacy).
• Experience with cloud-based device farms (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, Firebase Test Lab).
• Experience with performance testing and monitoring of mobile applications.
• Familiarity with crash analytics tools (Firebase Crashlytics or similar).
• Experience with microservices and backend validation for mobile apps.

What You’ll Deliver

• Reliable and scalable mobile automation coverage, including Flutter-based applications.
• Increased confidence in mobile releases across devices and platforms.
• Faster and more predictable release cycles through stable automation.
• Early detection of mobile-specific issues before production.
• Contribution to building a strong, engineering-driven quality culture around mobile products.
