Sdet Software Developer In Test

This role combines hands-on mobile software development with a strong focus on quality engineering and automated testing. You will design and implement robust test automation for mobile applications, contribute directly to production codebases, and embed quality practices throughout the software development lifecycle. The position covers both functional and non-functional testing, ensuring that mobile products are reliable, performant, and aligned with clearly defined acceptance criteria and user stories.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks for UI, API, and integration testing of mobile applications.

• Build scalable and reusable test automation solutions around the Flutter platform to support multiple product teams.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD YAML pipelines using a test automation platform built on Azure DevOps.

• Partner with the test automation platform team to enhance the shared automation platform used by many product teams.

• Collaborate with developers, verification engineers, and product owners to define test strategies, acceptance criteria, and quality goals.

• Perform functional, regression, smoke, performance, and reliability testing across mobile applications.

• Implement shift-left testing practices to ensure quality is embedded early in the software development lifecycle.

• Participate in design reviews and code reviews to ensure testability, reliability, and maintainability of new and existing features.

• Work closely with DevOps, the test automation platform team, and developers to improve release pipelines and automate reliability checks.

• Partner with the development team in building and refining features and functionality, contributing to production code as needed.

• Design meaningful, deterministic tests that align with requirements and risk controls, covering unit, widget/UI, integration, and end-to-end scenarios.

• Diagnose and troubleshoot issues discovered through automated and manual testing, collaborating with engineering teams to drive resolution., You will work in a collaborative, engineering-focused environment that emphasizes quality, automation, and continuous improvement. The team follows agile methodologies, using tools such as JIRA and Azure DevOps (ADO) to manage work, track progress, and integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines via YAML configurations. You will frequently collaborate with developers, verification engineers, DevOps specialists, and a centralized test automation platform team. The technology stack centers on mobile platforms including Flutter, iOS, and Android (Kotlin), with a strong focus on automated testing across UI, API, integration, and end-to-end layers. The environment supports structured verification workflows, test management, and traceability, particularly for regulated domains such as medical devices and Software as a Medical Device. Work is primarily performed in a modern, technology-driven setting where code reviews, design reviews, and cross-functional collaboration are integral to the development and release process.

• 4+ years of hands-on mobile app development experience in Flutter and/or iOS and/or Android (Kotlin), contributing to production codebases.

• 4+ years of experience designing and implementing automated tests for mobile applications, including unit, UI/widget, and integration tests, with a focus on test maintenance and reliability improvements.

• Strong understanding of mobile architecture, state management, and data flow, and the ability to apply this knowledge to improve testability and reliability.

• Ability to read, reason about, and contribute to production code, as well as provide constructive code review feedback.

• Proven ability to design meaningful, deterministic tests that align with requirements and risk controls.

• Proficiency with unit, widget/UI, integration, and end-to-end test approaches for mobile applications.

• Experience building reliable mobile test automation, such as Flutter integration tests, simulators or mocks, and API automation.

• Experience with agile development methodologies and project management tools such as JIRA, Azure DevOps (ADO), and Agile/Scrum frameworks.

• Hands-on experience with test automation in CI/CD pipelines, particularly using YAML-based configurations and Azure DevOps.

• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with developers, verification engineers, product owners, and DevOps teams.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Knowledge of relevant industry standards and regulations (for example, IEC standards).

• Experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interaction testing, including pairing, reconnect scenarios, retries, error states, and diagnosing failure modes.

• Experience diagnosing complex issues across boundaries from mobile applications to embedded devices and cloud services.

• Familiarity with structured verification workflows and tooling, including test management and traceability systems.

• Background in medical devices or Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), with experience in regulated mobile environments preferred.

• Experience working on embedded systems in conjunction with mobile applications.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a methodical approach to debugging and reliability improvements.

• Ability to effectively communicate test strategies, results, and risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
