[Hiring] Senior SDET @Luxoft

Role Description

We're building a streaming TV (OTT) app for Android TV set-top boxes for one of the largest pay-TV providers in North America. The app covers live TV, on-demand content, cloud DVR, personalized home screens, and sports. Millions of households use it.

You'll join a feature team spread across several countries that builds and tests customer-facing features from start to finish. The team works in Agile sprints, with nightly builds, regular release candidates, and hotfixes. Testing is done on real devices and emulators, using a shared Java/Appium automation framework.

We're looking for a Senior SDET who can own quality for the team's features and deliver on their own, without close supervision.

Responsibilities

• Own quality for your team's features: review requirements, spot risks early, and decide what to test manually and what to automate.
• Design, write and maintain test cases in a Jira-based test management tool.
• Write and maintain automated UI tests for an Android TV app in Java with Appium, including remote-control navigation and focus checks.
• Add to the shared automation framework (screen classes, locators, test data, helpers) and review other engineers' test code.
• Use a proxy tool to inspect and mock API responses and to simulate errors and edge cases.
• Use feature flags to test features that aren't released yet.
• Test on real devices: install builds, update devices, and manage test accounts and device setups.
• Run feature testing, regression testing, and release candidate testing, and confirm fixes before release.
• Review failed automated test runs: separate real bugs from unstable tests or environment problems, and keep the test suite reliable.
• Investigate problems with adb, logcat, crash reports, and network traffic, and write clear bug reports with likely causes.
• Check non-functional quality: memory use and stability on the device, accessibility with TalkBack, and analytics events.
• Work closely with developers, the product owner, and other teams across time zones, and suggest improvements to testing practices and tools.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building Appium tests in Java for Android apps.
• Hands-on work with real Android devices: adb, logcat, installing builds, capturing logs and screenshots.
• API inspection and mocking with a proxy tool (Charles Proxy or similar).
• TestNG or JUnit, Maven or Gradle, Git, Jenkins, Jira.
• Clear written bug reports and test documentation.

Requirements

• Testing on Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV or set-top boxes (remote-control navigation, standby and wake, HDMI behavior).
• Ability to read Kotlin and Jetpack Compose code.
• Test reporting dashboards such as ReportPortal or Allure.
• Accessibility testing with TalkBack.
• Checking analytics events in tools like New Relic or Firebase.
• On-device performance checks such as Android Studio Profiler and memory leak detection.
• AI coding assistants for testing, such as Claude or GitHub Copilot.
• Experience updating or flashing Android devices, including over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Other

• Languages: English: C1 Advanced.
• Seniority: Senior.
