Staff Software Engineer in Test (mfn)

Were looking for a Staff Software Engineer in Test to raise the quality bar across our mobile app and backend domain - not by writing more tests but by changing how the whole domain thinks about quality. This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the intersection of QA and mobile development driving a native-first testing strategy and a culture where developers own quality rather than hand it off.

Your scope of work will cover 3 areas.

I. Test strategy & native automation

• Design and own the test strategy across mobile teams for native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin) apps.
• Set strategy for device and OS-version fragmentation coverage and drive flakiness control at scale running suites on BrowserStack with GitLab CI.
• Keep the backend/API/contract layer strong and connect it to the mobile client layer.
• Own quality gates inside app release and store-deployment pipelines and drive resolution of quality issues that cross team boundaries within the domain.

II. Coaching culture & technical leadership

• Pair on testability shift quality ownership left into the dev workflow and be the person teams seek out before implementation starts.
• Mentor Senior Software Engineers in Test accelerating real visible growth and provide technical guidance across the domain.
• Run knowledge-sharing across QA and Dev: tech talks workshops reusable documentation pair sessions; co-lead the OneTech/QA community.
• Co-shape the domains technical quality direction with the SEM with full autonomy within the domain and analyze quality trends from reports/metrics to identify improvement areas.
• Define quality metrics and gates and use them to frame quality risk in business terms for EMs SEMs and PMs.

III. AI Governance in testing

• Define the AI adoption approach for quality engineering in the domain - which tools which workflows.
• Design AI-assisted testing workflows and set governance and data-security standards across teams.
• Assess and manage the risk of AI usage in testing (including production-facing work) not just the productivity upside.
• Mentor engineers on responsible effective AI use and report on AI ROI for quality engineering.

Qualifications :

Must-have

• Strong experience automating mobile app tests natively (iOS or Android - ideally both) with real working-level Swift and/or Kotlin.
• A track record designing test strategy / the test pyramid - not just executing on someone elses plan.
• Proven shift-left experience - entering the process before coding and measurably changing the outcome.
• Experience leading technical/process change and working directly with development teams.
• Experience in introducing mock-based testing - setting the standards and education
• Proven impact beyond a single team - standards set for multiple teams or a cross-team quality initiative led.
• A hands-on critical relationship with AI - using it and assessing its risks not just its benefits.
• Fluent English; fluent Polish.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with BrowserStack and CI/CD (GitLab).
• Snapshot testing experience (e.g. swift-snapshot-testing Paparazzi).
• Familiarity with Appium - useful for understanding what were migrating away from.
• Experience applying AI in testing workflows (were building skills to support the migration).
• Experience in the logistics or e-commerce industry.
• ISTQB Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer certification.
