Senior Software Engineer (Mobile QA)
Posted Updated
- We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Mobile QA to join the App Infra team within the Consumer & Business group
- The team is leading the greenfield native rewrite of Coinbase’s retail mobile app in Swift and Kotlin, replacing the existing React Native codebase to deliver a significantly faster experience for millions of customers
- You’ll own the test infrastructure and processes that ensure every native release meets an uncompromising quality bar
- You’ll build automated regression frameworks directly into the AI-assisted code generation loop so defects are caught at commit time, not after
- Own the design and implementation of automated regression test suites for native iOS and Android builds, setting the project-level quality bar through code reviews, test standards, and trade-off analysis that teammates and partners trust
- Build test infrastructure integrated into the AI code generation cycle, enforcing automated test and performance verification at commit time and defaulting to automation where manual steps currently slow the team
- Partner with mobile engineers to close coverage gaps, eliminate flaky tests, and fix the slow debugging workflows the team has learned to tolerate
- Architect the QA strategy for the greenfield rollout, solving high-complexity problems around catching regressions while supporting urgent last-minute changes from product teams
- Establish quality dashboards and SLOs that give the team real-time visibility into app stability, dropped frames, stall counts, and cold start times — turning release-by-release firefighting into durable, ever-increasing quality
- Uses generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and measurable gains in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality
- Proven track record building automated regression infrastructure integrated into CI/CD pipelines (Buildkite, CircleCI, or similar), with measurable impact on release quality and cycle time
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on mobile test automation, including hands-on experience with XCTest, Espresso, or equivalent native testing frameworks for iOS and Android
- Proficiency in Swift and Kotlin sufficient to read, debug, and write test code against native mobile codebases, with demonstrated ability to architect robust technical solutions through trade-off analysis
