This role is ideal for a senior-level engineer who bridges the gap between software development and quality assurance. You should have at least 5 years of experience in the SDET or Android space, with a deep mastery of Kotlin and Android-specific testing tools like Espresso or UIAutomator. Since this position sits within the Quality Engineering team, they are looking for someone who doesn't just run tests but builds the scalable frameworks and CI/CD pipelines that enable other developers to ship high-quality code. The compensation is a major draw, with a base salary reaching up to $267,100 plus equity. While the role is based on-site in Los Angeles, it offers a robust benefits package including flexible vacation, comprehensive family planning, and gender-affirming care. You'll have high organizational impact by influencing testing standards across the entire engineering department for a platform serving over 116 million daily users. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 3+ years of dedicated Android development experience and know JetPack Compose. * Are passionate about "shifting left"—moving quality checks earlier into the development lifecycle. * Prefer building infrastructure and tools over strictly manual feature testing. * Want to work in a highly collaborative, on-site environment in the LA area.
