Android Automation Lead

As an Android Automation Lead in our flagship Sportsbook team, you will own the test automation strategy and drive its implementation across a large team (50+ FTE) working on a multi-billion-dollar product. You will have plenty of freedom to make an impact, but we also expect a proactive, data-driven approach to deliver real improvements in quality and efficiency. If you are curious, innovative, and ready to lead change, you’ll thrive in this role. Expect your role to be split equally between hands-on technical work and leadership. About 50% of your time will be dedicated to writing code and designing technical solutions, while the other 50% will be spent mentoring team members and guiding our quality initiatives to success.
