Mobile Automation Engineer – AI
We are seeking a skilled Mobile Automation Engineer to design, build, and maintain automated testing frameworks for a global loyalty mobile application on Android, iOS, and Flutter. You will work within cross-functional agile squads, collaborating with developers, QA analysts, and release managers to ensure every release meets the highest quality bar. This is an AI-augmented role – you will actively use AI-assisted tools to accelerate test case generation, improve test coverage analysis, automate defect triage, and enhance debugging efficiency. You should be able to demonstrate how AI tools have improved your testing productivity in previous roles. You will own the mobile automation strategy for your squad: building robust, scalable test suites that run in CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual regression effort, and providing fast, reliable quality signals to the delivery team.
What you’ll do
Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for mobile applications across Android, iOS, and Flutter using WebDriverIO, Appium, Detox, and/or Espresso/XCUITest
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to provide continuous quality feedback on every pull request and release candidate
Collaborate with developers to define testability requirements, review test coverage, and establish quality gates
Build and maintain test data management strategies, mock services, and test environment configurations
Perform test case design, automation candidacy analysis, and test suite optimisation to maximise coverage with minimum execution time
Analyse test results, investigate flaky tests, and maintain test suite reliability above 95% pass-rate stability
Support release regression cycles, providing automated quality signals and go/no-go recommendations
Contribute to Zephyr test management: linking automated tests to test cases, maintaining traceability, and reporting on automation coverage metrics
What you bring
Proven experience using AI-assisted tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) as part of day-to-day testing workflows, including test case generation, script debugging, code review, or defect analysis
Ability to demonstrate measurable productivity improvements in testing through AI tool adoption
Experience evaluating AI-powered testing tools (e.g., Testim, Mabl, Applitools) and recommending adoption where appropriate
Willingness to explore AI-driven testing innovations: autonomous test agents, visual regression AI, intelligent test selection, and predictive defect analysis
Strong proficiency with mobile automation frameworks: WebDriverIO, Appium, Detox, Espresso, or XCUITest
Experience with at least two mobile platforms: Android and iOS (native or cross-platform testing)
Solid programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript (WebDriverIO/Detox) or Java/Kotlin (Appium/Espresso)
Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or equivalent)
Understanding of mobile-specific testing challenges: device fragmentation, OS version matrices, permissions, network conditions, and app lifecycle management
Familiarity with API testing tools (Postman, Newman) for end-to-end validation
Experience with test management tools (Zephyr Squad/Scale, TestRail) and defect tracking in Jira
Understanding of performance testing concepts for mobile: app launch time, memory profiling, network latency
Benefits & perks
Opportunity to work on a globally recognised consumer brand across 12+ markets
An AI-first engineering culture that invests in cutting-edge tools and continuous learning
Collaborative, distributed team environment spanning multiple geographies
Competitive compensation package with performance-based progression
Access to AI training, certifications, conference attendance, and dedicated innovation time
Flexible working arrangements with a focus on outcomes over hours
