Full Time
Sr. Automation Engineer - iOS
Experience: 7+ Years
Tech Stack: XCUITest, Swift, CI/CD (Jenkins/Bitrise/GitHub Actions)
As a Senior Automation Engineer, you will build the framework that gives our developers the confidence to ship code on Fridays. You will move beyond simple record-and-playback scripts to create a robust, scalable, and resilient XCUITest framework that integrates seamlessly into our CI/CD pipelines.
What You'll Do
- Framework Development: Architect and maintain a scalable test automation framework using native XCUITest and Swift.
- Pipeline Integration: deeply integrate automated suites into CI pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions) to block merging of broken PRs automatically.
- Flakiness Eradication: Actively monitor test stability, identify flaky tests, and re-architect them for determinism and reliability.
- Tooling: Build internal tools to mock network responses (using GCDWebServer or similar) to test edge cases and error states without relying on backend stability.
- Strategy: Collaborate with manual QA and developers to determine the optimal balance between Unit, Integration, and UI tests (The Testing Pyramid).
What You'll Bring
- Experience: 7+ years in Quality Engineering with a specific focus on iOS Automation.
- Technical Skills: Deep coding expertise in Swift; you must be able to write production-quality code, not just test scripts.
- Frameworks: Mastery of XCUITest API (queries, assertions, performance metrics).
- CI/CD: Experience configuring CI jobs, managing simulators, and parallelizing test execution.
- Debugging: Ability to dig into Xcode logs and system traces to debug test failures effectively
