Staff Software Engineer

THE POSITION
Our roster has an opening with your name on it

Were looking for a Staff Software Engineer to own and evolve test automation for our Sportsbook Emerging Experiences - Social and Advanced Search - across iOS Android and Web. This is a hands-on technicalleadership role focused on building reliable functional and performance automation that improves release confidence.

Youll partner closely with engineers product and QA to embed quality earlier in the development lifecycle build repeatable patterns in our Nx monorepo and CI and raise the bar on what release ready means for user-critical journeys.

In addition to the specific responsibilities outlined above employees may be required to perform other such duties as assigned by the Company. This ensures operational flexibility and allows the Company to meet evolving business needs.

THE GAME PLAN
Everyone on our team has a part to play

Design and implement end-to-end automation for core Social and Search journeys using Cypress (web) and Detox (iOS/Android) aligned to our Nx monorepo structure.

Own and evolve the pillars automation foundations: test architecture folder structure screen-object patterns shared utilities and local-first run toolchains so teams can add coverage quickly and consistently.

Integrate automation into CI (Buildkite and/or GitHub Actions): affected execution parallelization clear pass/fail reporting and quality gates that are actionable while keeping suites easy to run locally for fast iteration.

Drive stability: track flakiness improve test determinism and shorten time-to-signal through improved synchronization test data control and failure triage patterns.

Establish a test data and environment strategy: mocks/fixtures for acceptance prod-like data for E2E and lightweight API/contract tests (Pact or equivalent) where they add value.

Build performance coverage for critical journeys (feed load interactions search latency/rendering) using Detox performance tooling and/or Flashlight Maestro; define baselines and regression thresholds.

Own load/performance testing for key end-to-end user journeys (from BFF/edge APIs through platform and backend services) using Locust (Python) or equivalent including realistic traffic modeling (ramp profiles concurrency think time) scenario design assertions on p95/p99 latency throughput and error rates and reporting.

For Advanced Search (including LLM-powered experiences where applicable) define automated evaluation: schema/structure checks relevance/quality regression vs baselines and edge-case/safety checks.

Partner with platform and observability teams to improve test visibility (dashboards logging artifacts) and ensure automation results are easy to interpret and act on.

Mentor and enable: coach engineers and QA (including team members transitioning from manual to automated testing) on automation authorship local-first toolchains and AI-assisted development workflows (e.g. Cursor) so squads can confidently build and maintain test coverage.

THE STATS
What were looking for in our next teammate

7 years of experience in software test automation / quality engineering including designing and maintaining automation frameworks at scale.

Hands-on coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript and/or Python; comfortable reading and contributing to production code.

Strong end-to-end automation experience across web and mobile (Cypress and Detox preferred; Playwright Appium WebdriverIO etc. are transferable).

Experience working in monorepos and CI/CD: Nx (or similar) Buildkite/GitHub Actions and practices like affected runs parallelization and fast feedback loops.

Experience testing APIs and distributed systems: test data setup SQL/NoSQL validation and contract testing/mocking approaches where appropriate.

Performance and reliability mindset: build performance baselines run end-to-end load tests (Locust/k6/JMeter) that exercise BFF and downstream services interpret p95/p99 latency and error rates and reduce flaky tests through better design.

Staff-level leadership: proven ability to influence across teams set standards mentor others and drive quality initiatives end-to-end.

Nice to Have

Mobile performance tooling (Detox performance Flashlight Maestro) and/or web performance profiling (Lighthouse tracing) is a plus.

Accessibility testing experience (axe WCAG) and/or visual regression testing.

Experience with observability and reporting (Grafana ELK Datadog) for test signal flakiness and CI analytics.

Cloud and data tooling (AWS Docker/Kubernetes) for test environments orchestration and test data pipelines.

Experience testing ML/LLM-powered search: evaluation datasets and regression across model/prompt changes.
