Project Description: We're building a streaming TV (OTT) app for Android TV set-top boxes for one of the largest pay-TV providers in North America. The app covers live TV, on-demand content, cloud DVR, personalized home screens and sports. Millions of households use it. You'll join a feature team spread across several countries that builds and tests customer-facing features from start to finish. The team works in Agile sprints, with nightly builds, regular release candidates and hotfixes. Testing is done on real devices and emulators, using a shared Java/Appium automation framework. We're looking for a Senior SDET who can own quality for the team's features and deliver on their own, without close supervision.
Responsibilities:
• Own quality for your team's features: review requirements, spot risks early, and decide what to test manually and what to automate
• Design, write and maintain test cases in a Jira-based test management tool
• Write and maintain automated UI tests for an Android TV app in Java with Appium, including remote-control navigation and focus checks
• Add to the shared automation framework (screen classes, locators, test data, helpers) and review other engineers' test code
• Use a proxy tool to inspect and mock API responses and to simulate errors and edge cases
• Use feature flags to test features that aren't released yet
• Test on real devices: install builds, update devices, and manage test accounts and device setups
• Run feature testing, regression testing and release candidate testing, and confirm fixes before release
• Review failed automated test runs: separate real bugs from unstable tests or environment problems, and keep the test suite reliable
• Investigate problems with adb, logcat, crash reports and network traffic, and write clear bug reports with likely causes
• Check non-functional quality: memory use and stability on the device, accessibility with TalkBack, and analytics events
• Work closely with developers, the product owner and other teams across time zones, and suggest improvements to testing practices and tools Mandatory Skills Description:
• 3+ years building Appium tests in Java for Android apps
• Hands-on work with real Android devices: adb, logcat, installing builds, capturing logs and screenshots
• API inspection and mocking with a proxy tool (Charles Proxy or similar)
• TestNG or JUnit, Maven or Gradle, Git, Jenkins, Jira
• Clear written bug reports and test documentation Languages:
• English: C1 Advanced
