About the role

Sesame is hiring its first dedicated automation engineer for the mobile apps to improve coverage, failure triage, and release quality across iOS and Android.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the iOS and Android test automation that runs in our CI.
  • Deliver a real quality signal on nightly, weekly, and release builds: what runs as a quick sanity check, what runs as deeper regression, and what we still test by hand. Keep iOS and Android at parity.
  • Automate what people actually do in the app (onboarding, text and voice chats, payments, notifications, settings) and check that the result is right, not just that the screen showed up.
  • When something fails, write it up so an engineer can fix it without reproducing it from scratch.
  • Help triage bugs automatically, and tell app, backend, OS, device, network, and test-harness problems apart.
  • Improve robustness and reliability: better isolation, stable test data, stronger checks, and retries where they make sense.
  • Keep the dashboard, TestRail, known issues, and release notes in sync so the team sees the real risk before we ship.
  • Work with the app engineers to move checks that belong in unit or integration tests down to that layer.

Qualifications

  • 7–8 years in software QA / test engineering, including 4+ years building mobile test automation for iOS and/or Android.
  • Hands-on with at least one mobile framework: XCUITest, XCTest, Espresso, Appium, Maestro, Detox, or similar.
  • Strong scripting/programming; can build harnesses and small tools yourself.
  • Has integrated tests into CI/CD or a release pipeline.
  • Can debug a flaky failure and hand engineering something useful.
  • Understands release risk and how to prioritize what gets tested.
  • Comfortable when builds change often and specs aren't finished.
