Senior QA Engineer, Field Delivery

26WD97554

Position Overview

At Autodesk, we empower those who imagine, design, and create a better world for everyone. Our Field Delivery team builds software used by construction workers on active job sites where connectivity is limited, conditions are unpredictable, and reliability is required.

We're looking for a Senior QA Engineer who knows how to build a quality assurance system where manual testing isn't required and where releases can be done safely and quickly. In this role, you'll design the test infrastructure for our web and mobile field operations platform (spanning a React web frontend, React Native iOS and Android apps, and a Python/Django backend) and push quality upstream into the development process itself.

You'll have the flexibility to evaluate and choose the right tools and frameworks for the job. You'll work alongside other QA engineers in the group and embed closely with the software engineers building the product. This is a role for someone who thinks in systems, writes production-grade test code, and takes as much pride in a system that enables constant releases without risk of bugs and errors as in a well-designed feature.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement end-to-end test automation for web and mobile (iOS and Android), selecting the tools and frameworks that best fit our stack and workflow

• Work with engineers to build and maintain backend test suites with realistic test data, ensuring strong coverage of API success paths, edge cases, and failure modes

• Design the strategy for unit and component test coverage across frontend and mobile - we currently use pytest and Jest, but you're free to evolve or replace tools as needed

• Help evolve the test automation framework. Reliability, speed, and maintainability are first-class concerns

• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines, including mobile simulator and emulator environments for automated builds and releases

• Track and enforce code coverage standards across backend and frontend

• Ensure load and performance testing is in place to validate backend behavior under realistic field conditions

• Spot gaps in coverage and drive them to closure, don't wait to be asked

• Jump into requirements and design reviews to push for testability and quality from the start

• Define and document test strategies for new features, including flag-off and flag-on behavior for feature-flagged work

• Work with developers to reproduce, isolate, and characterize defects - not just report them

• Work closely with frontend and backend engineers, product managers, and field operations stakeholders

• Raise the quality bar through code reviews of test code and automation frameworks

• Share testing best practices and help build a culture of documentation discipline across the team

• Coordinate with other QA engineers to align on coverage, tooling, and shared standards

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years in software quality engineering with a strong focus on test automation

• Proven experience building E2E test automation for web applications

• Experience with mobile test automation for iOS and Android

• Solid Python skills with experience writing and maintaining backend test suites

• Experience testing REST APIs in production backend systems

• Familiarity with React and React Native sufficient to write reliable component and integration tests

• Strong understanding of CI/CD systems and integrating automated test suites into pipelines

• You take ownership of what you build, keep it green, and look for ways to make it better

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with test data generation libraries (e.g. factory_boy)

• Experience configuring mobile CI/CD pipelines with automated simulator and emulator testing

• Familiarity with load and performance testing tools (e.g. Locust, k6)

• Experience with E2E web testing frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, or similar

• Experience with mobile testing frameworks such as Detox, Maestro, or Appium

• Experience using AI agents to make writing and maintaining testing systems easier

• Testing offline-first or field-facing mobile applications

• Background in construction, workforce management, or operations software

• PostgreSQL and database-level test strategies
