Allen Media Group operates Local Now, a free, ad-supported streaming service delivering local news, weather, sports, and lifestyle programming across connected devices. The Senior QA Automation Engineer will lead the design, implementation, and scaling of automated testing for the LN 2.0 streaming platform across mobile, connected TV, and web, including playback, advertising, APIs, privacy flows, and CI/CD integration.
Responsibilities
- Architect, build, and scale maintainable test automation frameworks across mobile, connected TV (CTV) platforms, and web
- Drive the test automation roadmap, establishing automation best practices, framework architecture, page-object models, and test data strategies
- Integrate automated test suites directly into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Jenkins) for continuous regression, deployment health checks, and release gating
- Test video playback (live and VOD), ad insertion (client-side and server-side), and quality-of-experience (QoE) scenarios
- Test and debug API/microservice integrations for data integrity, performance, and contract validation
- Validate privacy and consent flows: CMP behavior, preference persistence, DSAR-affected paths, and PII boundaries
- Report bugs with the rigor that engineers actually want to read — clean repro steps, environments, logs, and severity assessment
- Partner with engineering leads on triage, regression coverage, architecture reviews, and quality metrics
- Contribute to a device lab strategy and solve the practical realities of automating and testing across many CTV platforms
Skills
- 5+ years of QA experience on consumer software, with at least 3 years leading automation efforts on multi-platform mobile and/or CTV products
- Proven track record of architecting automated test frameworks from scratch for web, mobile, or CTV using modern tools (e.g., Playwright, Appium, Detox, XCUITest, Espresso, or Robot Framework)
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining automated CI/CD test pipelines
- Streaming video QA experience — playback, manifests, ad pods, DRM, QoE
- Hands-on testing and automation familiarity on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Tizen, or Vizio platforms
- Strong analytical and bug-investigation skills; able to isolate environmental, timing, and platform-specific issues
- Clear written communication; excellent at writing reproducible bug reports and concise automation docs and test plans
- Self-directed technical leader who thrives in a remote, distributed engineering culture
- Experience with consent / privacy testing or compliance-driven regression suites
- Hands-on experience using AI tools like Cursor and Claude to accelerate test authoring, triage, and analysis
- Experience setting up physical or cloud-based device farms (e.g., AWS Device Farm, Sauce Labs, HeadSpin) for automated CTV/mobile testing
