We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Quality Engineer (SDET) to lead our end-to-end quality engineering initiatives across mobile, web, backend, and data platforms. This role combines deep technical expertise with a forward-thinking, AI-first mindset, driving innovation, scalability, and reliability through advanced automation and intelligent testing strategies.
\nAs a senior member of the team, you will champion modern, AI-enhanced quality practices and help build a culture where continuous improvement, automation-first thinking, and data-driven decisions are embedded at every stage of product development. This is a hybrid position in Mountain View (Headquarters) and will require in-office work 2 days a week.
\nThe base salary range for this full-time position is $210,000 to $257,000, plus equity and benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. EarnIn provides excellent benefits for our employees, including healthcare, internet/cell phone reimbursement, and a learning and development stipend.
\nQuality Engineering & Test
\nOwn end-to-end quality across iOS and Android applications and their supporting backend services, ensuring high confidence in weekly (or faster) releases. Design and implement comprehensive test strategies covering:
\nEnsure critical user journeys are validated across mobile UI → API → backend → web touchpoints, preventing production escapes in high-impact flows. Partner with engineering teams to embed quality gates into the mobile release lifecycle, including pre-merge validation, release candidate verification, and post-deploy smoke testing.
\nDrive improvements in testability by introducing better logging, API contracts, observability hooks, feature flags, and deterministic state management. Establish meaningful quality metrics (crash analytics, defect trends, flaky tests, API reliability, release risk scoring) and surface actionable insights to engineering stakeholders.
\nChampion shift-left quality by influencing design reviews, API schema discussions, and acceptance criteria early in development.
\nAI-Driven Quality and Automation
\nLeverage AI to enhance mobile, backend, and web testing effectiveness, including:
\nIntegrate AI-powered log intelligence, crash clustering, and anomaly detection into quality workflows. Continuously evaluate and experiment with AI-driven QA tools to increase coverage, reduce maintenance overhead, and accelerate release cycles.
\nContribute to building an AI-augmented quality ecosystem that improves speed without compromising reliability.
\nAutomation Excellence
\nDesign, build, and scale robust automation frameworks using:
\nEnsure frameworks are modular, maintainable, and optimized for scale across multiple teams. Integrate automated validation into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.) to enable:
\nBuild developer-friendly tooling that enables:
\nContinuously reduce flakiness, improve signal quality, and optimize execution time across mobile and backend suites.
\nPerformance, Scalability & Reliability
\nDesign and execute performance validation across:
\nPartner with engineering teams to analyze production logs, crash reports, browser telemetry, and service metrics. Lead root-cause analysis of complex cross-layer defects spanning mobile UI, APIs, backend services, and web surfaces.
\nEnsure reliability validation is embedded directly into release workflows.
\nCross-Functional Collaboration and Leadership
\nCollaborate closely with mobile engineers, backend developers, web engineers, product managers, DevOps teams, and release managers to define clear, testable requirements and release criteria. Actively participate in sprint grooming, planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
\nInfluence best practices around mobile-first design, API contracts, and release readiness. Support mobile app release activities, including release candidate validation, go/no-go recommendations, and post-release monitoring.
\nMentor junior QA engineers and contribute to raising the technical bar in automation and cross-platform validation. Work effectively with globally distributed teams to coordinate testing across time zones.
