£40,000 – £50,000 | 2 days onsite
This is an opportunity to join a growing engineering team that’s building out serious capability in mobile test automation - they’re now looking for an Automation Engineer to join them as the platform scales.
This isn’t just a “write some tests” role. You’ll be helping shape how automation is done across real mobile devices and device farms, working across both iOS and Android apps using Python and Appium.
The team is expanding quickly, with increasing investment in mobile testing infrastructure, meaning you’ll be joining at a genuinely interesting point - where automation is becoming a core engineering function rather than a support activity.
You’ll work closely with engineers, QA, and product teams to design and maintain automation frameworks that actually scale. Expect a mix of hands-on scripting, framework development, and solving real-world device and mobile testing challenges.
What they’re looking for:
Strong Python automation experience, plus hands-on Appium exposure. Experience with mobile testing or device-based environments is important, and any exposure to device farms (AWS Device Farm, BrowserStack, etc.) is a strong plus. More than anything, they want someone who enjoys building robust automation - not just executing test cases.
Why it’s worth a look:
* Real ownership over automation frameworks and approach
* Rapidly scaling device & mobile testing environment
* Collaborative, engineering-led culture
* Strong work/life balance – flexible start/finish times
* Opportunity to influence a growing automation capability from the ground up
Salary: £40k–£50k depending on experience
