Join our passionate automation team as we build cutting-edge solutions to help drive the quality of one of the world’s most widely used location services. This role requires Android development experience and strong ownership of test automation frameworks and infrastructure. You’ll design and build robust test apps and harnesses, collaborate cross-functionally, and play a key leadership role in the quality validation of Maps SDKs and APIs on Android platforms. We’re looking for an Android engineer with deep testing experience - someone who has built and shipped production apps, and also architected or contributed significantly to test automation frameworks. You’ll work closely with internal engineering teams to simulate client applications, identify issues early, and deliver test infrastructure that enables scalable, repeatable validation across platforms. If you enjoy owning technical strategy, writing production-grade Android code, and creating high-leverage test tooling, this role is for you.

DESCRIPTION

In this role, you will play a key role in designing and developing automation frameworks and tools to validate Android SDKs, APIs, and applications. You will collaborate closely with developers and quality engineers to improve test coverage, reliability, and efficiency. Your responsibilities will include: * Design, develop, and maintain automation frameworks and tools to validate Android SDKs and APIs. * Build custom test apps and harnesses to simulate partner applications and validate platform behavior. * Create, execute, and maintain automated test suites covering functional, integration, and regression scenarios. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify gaps, drive architectural test improvements, and promote continuous testing. * Analyze test results, debug failures, and work with engineering teams to resolve root causes. * Represent Apple Maps in Android automation efforts across Apple Maps, collaborating with internal teams and partners to scale platform-level quality initiatives.
