QA Automation Engineer

Summary

Outside Interactive, Inc. is a hub for active lifestyle content and experiences, including the MapMyFitness team. The QA Automation Engineer will own test automation strategy across web, iOS, and Android fitness applications, building frameworks, API coverage, and CI/CD integration while addressing location-based testing challenges. The role also involves exploratory testing, defect tracking, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain test automation frameworks for our web, iOS, and Android applications
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines so every merge is validated automatically, and own the health of those suites — flake triage, runtime, and reliability
• Build automated API test coverage for the services that power our apps
• Develop strategies for testing location-based features, including GPS simulation, GPX replay, and device sensor mocking
• Use AI tools to accelerate test authoring, maintenance, and analysis — and help define how AI fits into our QA workflows
• Perform targeted exploratory and regression testing on new features where human judgment adds the most value
• Document and track defects with clear reproduction steps and severity assessments
• Collaborate with engineers, product, and design to understand requirements, identify edge cases, and build testability into features from the start
• Participate in sprint planning, provide QA estimates, and advocate for quality throughout the development lifecycle

Skills

• * You have 4+ years of experience in software quality assurance, including 2+ years building test automation
• * You have strong programming skills in at least one language (Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Java preferred)
• * You have hands-on experience building or significantly extending an automation framework using modern tools such as Playwright or Cypress for web, and Maestro, Appium, XCUITest, or Espresso for mobile
• * You have experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or similar)
• * You have automated API testing beyond Postman collections — you can write API tests in code
• * You use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) as a force multiplier and are excited about applying AI to quality engineering
• * You have strong exploratory testing instincts and a keen eye for detail — automation is your default, but you know when human judgment matters
• * You are familiar with bug tracking and test management tools (Jira, TestRail, or similar)
• * You are a strong communicator in a fully remote environment and can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• * You are able to work independently in situations of ambiguity
• * You have a passion for quality and a user-first mindset
• * Experience testing GPS, mapping, or other location-based applications
• * Experience with performance or load testing (k6, Gatling, Locust, or similar)
• * Experience with device farms or cloud testing platforms (BrowserStack, Firebase Test Lab, or similar)
• * Passion for fitness, running, cycling, or other endurance activities
• * Familiarity with the MapMyFitness apps or active user community
