• Scripting:
  Write, execute, and refactor automated UI, functional, and integration tests for native iOS and Android applications, covering complex end-to-end flows and dynamic interactions, including features that rely on real-time data or geolocation.
• Tooling:
  Research, evaluate, and implement new testing tools, technologies, and strategies to improve the efficiency and coverage of the mobile testing process.
• CI/CD Integration:
  Integrate test automation into the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline (e.g., Jenkins, Git Lab CI) to enable rapid and reliable release, using clearly defined quality gates and release readiness criteria.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with Mobile Development, Product Management, and QA teams to understand requirements and embed quality into the development lifecycle.
• Defect Management:
  Investigate, reproduce, and document defects and verify fixes.
• Reporting:
  Develop and maintain dashboards for tracking key quality metrics, test execution status, and automation coverage.

• Programming Proficiency:
  Strong proficiency in at least one programming language relevant to mobile development or testing, such as Java, Kotlin, Swift, or Go.
• Mobile Automation Tools:
  Extensive hands-on experience with industry-standard mobile test automation tools (e.g., Appium is often key, plus platform-specific tools like XCUITest for iOS and Espresso for Android).
• Mobile Development Understanding:
  Solid understanding of native iOS and Android application architecture and the mobile development lifecycle, including testing across a wide range of devices, and OS versions.
• Testing Methodologies:
  Deep understanding of software testing principles, methodologies, and quality assurance processes.
• Version Control:
  Experience with version control systems, especially Git.
• API/Backend Testing:
  Experience with testing APIs and understanding of client-server architecture.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in software development, quality assurance, or a related field, with a significant focus on test automation.
• Proven experience specifically automating tests for native mobile applications.
• Experience testing applications that include dynamic UI behavior, real-time data, or location-aware features.
• Experience with cloud-based device farms (e.g., AWS Device Farm, Browser Stack, Sauce Labs).
• Knowledge of accessibility testing standards and tools.
• Problem-Solving:
  Analytical mindset and strong diagnostic skills.
