## About the Role

* Swift must be very fluent, not just XCUI-level; strong ability to work in production app code
 * Xcode, XCUITest framework
 * Fastlane
 * Python (scripting, CI/CD tooling)
 * GitLab (CI/CD)
 * JIRA/Atlassian tools (nice to have)
 * AWS Device Farm experience (managing test devices)
 * Accessibility experience/awareness (standard Apple component usage, accessibility best practices) (nice to have)

Seniority / soft skills:

 * Senior-level engineer who can lead and inspire, not just execute
 * Strong communicator who can collaborate cross-functionally with iOS dev teams and the Android automation counterpart
 * Needs to be seen as a technical anchor and someone the client can build on for future expansion of scope, not just a one-off fill, * Onshore, same working hours as the client (heavy daily collaboration with iOS dev teams) [Dallas local preferred but not mandatory]
 * Target start: overlap before end of October incumbent departure

## Description

* Own and evolve the XCUI test automation framework for iOS native app teams
 * Build custom tooling around the framework as needed (not just write tests)
 * Design new automation features and understand how CI/CD pipelines integrate with testing
 * Work hands-on in the app codebase itself when needed for inspection/debugging (not just black-box testing)
 * Collaborate closely with the Android side (Espresso framework) to keep iOS and Android test solutions in sync with enhancements on one platform typically get mirrored on the other
 * Champion quality and accessibility standards across the team, act as a technical lead/mentor, not just an individual contributor
