Mobile QA Automation Engineer

XOi exists to turn asset data into uptime. For years, field service relied on experience and instinct to keep the world running. Today, teams are leaner, equipment is more complex, and expectations are higher. Instinct alone is not enough. We are the data intelligence solution for the people who design, maintain, and depend on critical equipment.

We deliver clarity across every stage of the asset lifecycle, giving the right person the right information at the right time so organizations can move from reactive work to proactive planning and predictive maintenance. When assets perform at their best, everything around them performs better too.

We are seeking a skilled Mobile QA Automation Engineer to join our dynamic team, with a primary focus on mobile automation using Appium. The ideal candidate has deep experience building reliable automated tests for iOS and Android, and it’s a strong plus if you’ve also supported web automation to help ensure end-to-end coverage across platforms.

In this role, you’ll design, develop, and implement automated test scripts and frameworks, partnering closely with cross-functional teams to expand test coverage, surface defects early, and continuously improve our testing practices throughout the development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Mobile Automation (Required)

• Build and maintain automated test suites for iOS + Android using Appium (required), primarily in JavaScript
• Expand coverage for critical user workflows, including authentication, media handling, connectivity variability, app lifecycle transitions, and performance-sensitive paths

Web Automation Coverage

• Maintain and grow web end-to-end automation using Cypress to ensure core workflows remain stable across releases

Cross-Functional Quality Partnership

• Collaborate with Engineering, QA, and Product to align coverage with feature specs, acceptance criteria, and user expectations
• Represent QA in story refinement and sprint planning to influence testability early

Defect Discovery & Root Cause

• Analyze test results to identify and track defects, regressions, and flaky tests
• Drive issues to root cause with clear, actionable detail

Automation in CI/CD & Release Readiness

• Integrate and scale automated tests in CI/CD pipelines for fast feedback and reliable release validation
• Support execution across environments, including device/emulator coverage when appropriate

Continuous Improvement

• Evolve frameworks, tools, and best practices to improve stability, maintainability, and speed
• Contribute to test data strategy, environment readiness, and metrics/reporting that strengthen release confidence and quality transparency

Post-Release Insights & Improvement

• Partner on production issue RCA and post-release learnings to drive preventative improvements (test gaps, tooling, monitoring, process)

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in test automation for mobile applications.
• Required: Demonstrated, hands-on experience building and maintaining Appium-based automation for mobile applications across iOS and Android.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, including developing reliable automation using: Appium (required) for mobile end-to-end testing, and Cypress (or similar) for web end-to-end testing.
• Practical understanding of mobile testing considerations: device fragmentation, OS versions, network variability, flaky-test mitigation, and test environment design.
• Familiarity with Python is a plus, especially for API or backend-related testing and automation utilities.
• Working knowledge of RESTful APIs and experience validating integrations and service responses.
• Knowledge of SQL for validating data integrity and supporting backend verification.
• Experience with Git and issue tracking/logging tools such as Sentry, Bugfender, Jira, or similar.
• Practical experience working with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and integrating automated tests into build/release workflows.
• Experience with cloud-based testing tools such as LambdaTest(MU), BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or other similar tools
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills with the ability to isolate failures across app, backend, environment, or test infrastructure.
• Effective communicator with a collaborative mindset; able to thrive in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Detail-oriented with a proactive approach to improving product quality, reducing risk, and increasing release confidence.
