• Partner closely with developers to improve testability and reduce regression risk.
• Leverage AI-assisted tools to accelerate test creation, improve resilience, and optimize suite maintenance.
• Continuously refactor and optimize the test suite to improve execution speed, stability, and reliability.
• Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, high-confidence releases.
• Design and maintain business-facing dashboards and reporting that clearly communicate coverage, stability trends, execution performance, and quality KPIs to non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years of test automation experience in native mobile automation specifically utilizing Appium for native iOS and Android.
• Proven experience independently designing and scaling automation frameworks in production environments.
• Demonstrated ability to create and present business-facing analytics and reporting on test coverage, stability, and performance metrics.
• Strong expertise in improving suite reliability, reducing flakiness, and optimizing execution speed.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously while staying tightly aligned with development teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience leveraging AI tools to build, expand, or optimize automated test suites.
• Experience optimizing large automation suites for parallel execution and faster feedback cycles.
• Experience with cloud-based mobile device platforms (e.g. BrowserStack).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Azure DevOps, Gitlab, GitHub Actions.
