QA Automation (Mobile) Consultant

About Quash

Quash is the AI-powered co-pilot for mobile QA. Our platform turns design files, PRDs, and code diffs into self-healing test suites that run on real devices, catch crashes, and explain root causes, so teams ship flawless apps in record time. Born in Bengaluru, we're a fast, user-obsessed crew blending deep mobile expertise with cutting-edge LLM and computer-vision research.

Role Overview

Our AI agents write and run the tests; you bring real-world battle scars. As a part-time domain expert you will:

• Speak the language of enterprise QA leads during sales / onboarding calls.
• Stress-test our roadmap with worst-case mobile-testing scenarios.
• Reassure client POCs that Quash aligns with industry best practice.
• Occasionally design or audit test suites for marquee customers.

Time commitment: 12 hrs per week (mix of scheduled calls and async reviews). You may keep a full-time role elsewheresubject to standard conflict-of-interest clauses.

Key Responsibilities

1. Client Advisory Join discovery & onboarding calls; translate Quash's AI magic into QA-manager lingo, handle objections, chart migration paths.
2. Domain Research & Ideation Surface edge-cases in mobile automation (device fragmentation, OS drift, flake triage) and help prioritise features.
3. Standards & Best Practice Maintain an internal wiki of frameworks, coverage heuristics, and compliance checklists (ISO, SOC2, accessibility).
4. White-Glove Interventions For high-stakes accounts, design PoCs or quick-fix scripts that showcase Quash alongside Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, Detox, etc.
5. Thought Leadership Co-author blogs, webinars, or conference decks that cement Quash's AI leadership in mobile QA.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years owning mobile test automation at scale.
• Deep fluency with Appium and one native stack (Espresso / XCUITest / WebdriverIO / Detox).
• Proven record presenting to customers, auditors, or execs.
• Familiarity with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Jenkins), device farms, and flake-analysis tooling.
• Ability to give crisp, diplomatic feedback to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior consultant / SDET stint for a Mobile App company.
• Experience with AI-driven or self-healing frameworks.
• Conference speaking, OSS maintainer, or published testing research.
