Requirements

• A builder’s mindset with a bias for quality — excited to push the boundaries of automated testing and modernize how world-class streaming experiences are validated.
• Deep technical judgment — a passion for thoughtful framework design and architectural planning that produces test suites that are resilient, maintainable, and built to last.
• A developer-experience multiplier — motivated to level up how the team ships by improving tooling, test coverage, CI/CD workflows, and overall code and quality health.
• Comfort operating at high velocity — able to deliver quality work in fast-moving environments with evolving requirements, without losing attention to detail.
• Strong ownership and initiative — you spot gaps in coverage, define a plan, and execute end-to-end with urgency and accountability.
• Expert collaborator and communicator — able to clearly articulate test strategies, present tradeoffs, and partner effectively across engineering, product, and design.
• Relentless attention to detail — you notice what others miss and care deeply about correctness, performance, and polish.
• Highly organized and adaptable — able to manage multiple priorities, navigate ambiguity, and adjust quickly as conditions change.
• Resourceful problem solver — comfortable tackling open-ended quality challenges and finding pragmatic solutions when the path isn’t obvious.
• Growth-oriented and feedback-driven — you proactively seek, give, and act on meaningful feedback with positive intent, consistently turning it into better outcomes for yourself, your peers, and the team.
• Always learning — quick to pick up new tools, platforms, and testing paradigms, and eager to apply them effectively and teach them to others.
• An owner and leader — you execute with high energy, share context freely, insist on candor, and raise the bar for everyone around you.
• 5+ years of experience in test automation engineering
• Hands-on experience testing and automating on living room / Smart TV platforms (Roku, AndroidTV/FireTV, AppleTV, Tizen, WebOS, or similar)
• Experience with automation tools and frameworks such as Appium, Selenium, or proprietary TV SDKs and debugging tools
• Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines
• Experience with performance and memory profiling on resource-constrained devices
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Nice To Haves

• Deep familiarity with the Roku platform (BrightScript/SceneGraph) — highly preferred
• Experience with cloud testing platforms such as LambdaTest, Kobiton, Perfecto, or Rainforest QA
• Experience in video streaming, OTT, or media application testing
• Experience with HLS.js and video playback validation
• Familiarity with monorepo structures and modern CI tooling

Responsibilities

• Own test automation end-to-end — architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable automated test frameworks purpose-built for Smart TV and connected device ecosystems.
• Build platform-specific quality strategies — design test approaches covering UI/UX, video playback, and performance testing across Roku, AndroidTV, tvOS, Tizen, WebOS, and beyond.
• Embed quality into CI/CD — integrate automated test suites into continuous integration pipelines to enable rapid, reliable release cycles with confidence.
• Hunt down the hardest bugs — investigate, reproduce, and report complex defects, working closely with engineers to isolate root causes in platform-specific codebases.
• Tame resource-constrained devices — identify memory leaks, CPU bottlenecks, and video streaming degradation on low-power living room devices that others give up on.
• Measure what matters — define, instrument, and track metrics for streaming performance, app health, and user experience, and coach the team on using data to guide quality decisions.
• Multiply the team’s speed and confidence — provide expert QA guidance, perform thoughtful test and app reviews, and actively coach and accelerate other engineers.
• Partner deeply across disciplines — work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build quality in from concept to launch and beyond.
• Lead through influence — share knowledge in brownbags, workshops, hackathons, and cross-team forums to raise the quality bar across the organization.
• Strengthen our foundation — contribute to technical documentation and test plans that scale knowledge across Product and Engineering.
