- You have deep experience ensuring the quality of consumer Android applications at scale, with real depth in Kotlin, Java, and the Android SDK.
- You are an engineer first, with the software chops to build test frameworks, harnesses, and CI tooling from the ground up rather than only consuming what others build.
- You test at every layer of the stack, not just end-to-end UI automation, and you use judgment to put each test where it belongs across unit, Robolectric, integration, screenshot, and on-device suites.
- You are curious about audio and video and how streaming works, including adaptive streaming, DRM, codecs, hardware and software decode, and player frameworks such as ExoPlayer.
- You know the Android device ecosystem first-hand, including the range of hardware capabilities across SoCs and OEMs, and what it takes to prove consistent playback across many device generations and price points.
- You have applied AI tooling in a testing context, using it to generate tests, triage failures, analyze flakiness, or close coverage gaps, and you bring that experience to quality problems rather than waiting for tools to be handed to you.
- You are comfortable drawing the line between what should be automated and what should stay manual, and you defend that line with data and judgment rather than dogma.
- You are a systems thinker who can reason through the interactions of client, network, and backend, in a domain where playback failures are often emergent and hard to reproduce.
- You communicate clearly and build collaboration across boundaries, with UI counterparts, fellow Player engineers on iOS and TV, product managers, and data science partners.
