What You'll Do
Own quality across the TV experience—from framework to flawless release. As the Senior SDET on our TV Apps team, you’ll be the champion of quality and automation for Angel’s living room streaming applications. You’ll design and build the test infrastructure that makes shipping to Roku, AndroidTV/FireTV, AppleTV, and other platforms feel like turning on a light. You’ll move fast, raise the bar, and make quality everyone’s competitive advantage. You will: Own test automation end-to-end — architect, build, and maintain robust, scalable automated test frameworks purpose-built for Smart TV and connected device ecosystems. Build platform-specific quality strategies — design test approaches covering UI/UX, video playback, and performance testing across Roku, AndroidTV, tvOS, Tizen, WebOS, and beyond. Embed quality into CI/CD — integrate automated test suites into continuous integration pipelines to enable rapid, reliable release cycles with confidence. Hunt down the hardest bugs — investigate, reproduce, and report complex defects, working closely with engineers to isolate root causes in platform-specific codebases. Tame resource-constrained devices — identify memory leaks, CPU bottlenecks, and video streaming degradation on low-power living room devices that others give up on. Measure what matters — define, instrument, and track metrics for streaming performance, app health, and user experience, and coach the team on using data to guide quality decisions. Multiply the team’s speed and confidence — provide expert QA guidance, perform thoughtful test and app reviews, and actively coach and accelerate other engineers. Partner deeply across disciplines — work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build quality in from concept to launch and beyond. Lead through influence — share knowledge in brownbags, workshops, hackathons, and cross-team forums to raise the quality bar across the organization. Strengthen our foundation — contribute to technical documentation and test plans that scale knowledge across Product and Engineering. This role is for someone who believes quality is a feature, thrives in constrained environments, and wants to leave a lasting mark on how millions experience streaming on Smart TVs.
What Success Looks Like
Releases ship on time and with confidence — automated coverage gives the team the freedom to move fast without breaking things. Device-specific bugs get caught before customers find them, even on the oldest, slowest hardware. Your frameworks are so reliable and well-documented that other engineers build on top of them without hesitation. The CI/CD pipeline is a quality gate everyone trusts — not a bottleneck they try to skip. Your impact on quality culture is visible: engineers ship more confidently, and regressions are caught earlier every sprint.
What You'll Need
A builder’s mindset with a bias for quality — excited to push the boundaries of automated testing and modernize how world-class streaming experiences are validated. Deep technical judgment — a passion for thoughtful framework design and architectural planning that produces test suites that are resilient, maintainable, and buil
