This role is ideal for a seasoned **Android SDET or Software Engineer** with at least 5 years of experience who is passionate about infrastructure and developer productivity. You should have a deep mastery of **Kotlin**, with at least 3 years specifically in Android development. The team is looking for a "multiplier"—someone who doesn't just write tests but builds the scalable frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and tools that enable every other engineer to ship high-quality code. The compensation package is highly competitive, offering a base salary between **$190,800 and $267,100**, plus equity (RSUs) and a 401(k) match. While the role is **on-site in Chicago**, it offers a "community-first" benefits package including flexible vacation, gender-affirming care, family planning support, and workspace stipends. This is a high-impact position where you will influence the testing culture for an app used by over 116 million people. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience with **Espresso, UIAutomator**, and ideally **Jetpack Compose**. * Expertise in building mobile CI/CD workflows and managing non-production environment stability. * Enjoy "big picture" engineering, such as analyzing production gaps to improve the entire testing stack. * Want to move away from manual QA and into a role focused on architectural tool-building.
