- Build risk-based matrices covering functional, integration, performance, and security scopes; tether each matrix to product OKRs (e.g., user-retention, session length)

Automation Frameworks & Tooling

- Architect modular UI/API automation in Java 11+ using Appium, TestNG, and Allure; enable parallel grid execution via BrowserStack or AWS Device Farm

- Implement contract-testing (Pact) to flag breaking backend changes; add property-based fuzzing for resilience.

CI/CD & Observability :

- Embed quality gates in GitHub Actions or Xcode Cloud; publish flakiness and coverage dashboards.

- Visualise runtime anomalies with MetricKit exporters feeding Grafana panels.

Manual & Exploratory Testing :

- Conduct session-based deep-dives on new iOS 26 paradigms (widgets, Live Activities, Vision Pro handoff); verify accessibility (VoiceOver, Switch Control) and localisation paths.

Minimum Qualifications :

- 4 + yrs in mobile QA (? 2 yrs iOS automation).

- Familiarity with Xcode 16+ and iOS SDK nuances.

- Hands-on device-farm orchestration and MDM-secured lab management.

- Robust Java (streams, lambdas, TestNG listeners) and scripting (Bash/Python) chops.

- Mastery of Appium + XCTest/XCUITest; comfort with Fastlane tools (scan, gym, snapshot).
