Roles & Responsibilities

Responsibilities

1. Quality & Delivery Infrastructure

Execute and maintain mobile CI/CD pipelines (managing PR builds, caching strategies, and our in-house macOS device farm).
Implement automated app quality guardrails in CI that enforce performance, stability, and screen availability thresholds before code is merged.
Support the automation of our release infrastructure, completing tasks and iterations within the standard 1-day to 3-month planning cycles.

2. Quality Insights & Tooling

Contribute to the team's objectives by building integrations that link crash logs and test results to observability dashboards.
Automate the collection of incident data across mobile releases to provide clear visibility on regressions.

3. Cross-Stack Quality Guardrails

Implement API/Contract testing (e.g., Postman) within the CI pipeline to proactively block backend changes that break mobile apps.
Build automated mock servers and test data generation scripts to stabilize E2E UI testing.

4. Code Review & Developer Automation

Write and maintain automated linting rules and static analysis checks to catch architectural violations early.
Implement scripts and bots that reduce manual code review time for product squads.
