[Hiring] Senior SDET / QA Engineer @Angel

Role Description

Our engineering teams are revolutionizing what it means to be a part of inspirational entertainment. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership in areas that are sure to shore-up our streaming quality and reliability. This is a high-ownership, high-impact opportunity where you’ll add vision, strategy, and execution for how millions of fans discover, watch, and engage with Angel’s ever-growing library of stories without a single frustrating hiccup.

What You'll Do

• Own quality across the TV experience—from framework to flawless release.
• As the Senior SDET on our TV Apps team, you’ll be the champion of quality and automation for Angel’s living room streaming applications.
• Design and build the test infrastructure that makes shipping to Roku, AndroidTV/FireTV, AppleTV, and other platforms feel like turning on a light.
• Own test automation end-to-end — architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable automated test frameworks purpose-built for Smart TV and connected device ecosystems.
• Build platform-specific quality strategies — design test approaches covering UI/UX, video playback, and performance testing across Roku, AndroidTV, tvOS, Tizen, WebOS, and beyond.
• Embed quality into CI/CD — integrate automated test suites into continuous integration pipelines to enable rapid, reliable release cycles with confidence.
• Hunt down the hardest bugs — investigate, reproduce, and report complex defects, working closely with engineers to isolate root causes in platform-specific codebases.
• Tame resource-constrained devices — identify memory leaks, CPU bottlenecks, and video streaming degradation on low-power living room devices.
• Measure what matters — define, instrument, and track metrics for streaming performance, app health, and user experience.
• Multiply the team’s speed and confidence — provide expert QA guidance, perform thoughtful test and app reviews, and actively coach and accelerate other engineers.
• Partner deeply across disciplines — work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build quality in from concept to launch and beyond.
• Lead through influence — share knowledge in brownbags, workshops, hackathons, and cross-team forums to raise the quality bar across the organization.
• Strengthen our foundation — contribute to technical documentation and test plans that scale knowledge across Product and Engineering.

What Success Looks Like

• Releases ship on time and with confidence — automated coverage gives the team the freedom to move fast without breaking things.
• Device-specific bugs get caught before customers find them, even on the oldest, slowest hardware.
• Your frameworks are so reliable and well-documented that other engineers build on top of them without hesitation.
• The CI/CD pipeline is a quality gate everyone trusts — not a bottleneck they try to skip.
• Your impact on quality culture is visible: engineers ship more confidently, and regressions are caught earlier every sprint.

Qualifications

• A builder’s mindset with a bias for quality.
• Deep technical judgment.
• A developer-experience multiplier.
• Comfort operating at high velocity.
• Strong ownership and initiative.
• Expert collaborator and communicator.
• Relentless attention to detail.
• Highly organized and adaptable.
• Resourceful problem solver.
• Growth-oriented and feedback-driven.
• Always learning.
• An owner and leader.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in test automation engineering.
• Hands-on experience testing and automating on living room / Smart TV platforms (Roku, AndroidTV/FireTV, AppleTV, Tizen, WebOS, or similar).
• Experience with automation tools and frameworks such as Appium, Selenium, or proprietary TV SDKs and debugging tools.
• Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with performance and memory profiling on resource-constrained devices.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Experience

• Deep familiarity with the Roku platform (BrightScript/SceneGraph) — highly preferred.
• Experience with cloud testing platforms such as LambdaTest, Kobiton, Perfecto, or Rainforest QA.
• Experience in video streaming, OTT, or media application testing.
• Experience with HLS.js and video playback validation.
• Familiarity with monorepo structures and modern CI tooling.

Benefits

• $85,000 - $110,000 a year, commensurate with experience.

Work Environment

• Remote team members must have a private and quiet area for working hours.
• When in the main office, expect a comfortable, air-conditioned work environment.
• Team members are issued their own desks, but the office is an open, shared space and can be fast-paced and occasionally noisy.

Physical Demands

• Will need to be able to sit or stand at a desk for extended periods of time.

Position Type and Expected Hours of Work

• Regular full-time, 40 hours per week.

Travel Required

• 2–4 onsite events in Utah each year.

Work Authorization

• Must be authorized to work in the United States.
