About The Position

The Quality Engineering (QE) team helps build high-quality software efficiently by enabling engineers to build highly testable systems. We own and continuously improve test cases, automation coverage, test automation tools, environments, and frameworks. We navigate massive codebases to identify weak spots, and help design and implement testable, fault-tolerant systems. As a Senior Quality Engineer, Mobile (Android), you will drive quality across Android product experiences by building scalable test automation, strengthening testability in the app architecture, and partnering closely with product engineering teams. You'll help evolve our testing infrastructure and frameworks, influence engineering decisions, and lead cross-team quality initiatives with high impact.
