- Lead the design, architecture, and development of native Windows desktop applications using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or related UI frameworks), C#, XAML, and — when needed — C++.
- Define and enforce best-practices for Windows desktop development across the codebase: code architecture, performance, memory usage, responsive UI, cross-version compatibility (Windows 10/11+), and maintainability.
- Drive accessibility efforts: integrate and validate support for accessibility APIs (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or other relevant Windows accessibility frameworks), ensure UI controls, focus management, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, and usability for users with disabilities.
- Collaborate closely with product designers, UX researchers, QA, and other stakeholders to shape feature planning, UI/UX architecture, and long-term roadmap for the Windows platform.
- Take ownership of full lifecycle of features: conception → design → implementation → testing → release → maintenance. Ensure quality, reliability, and consistency across releases.
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve complex bugs, performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, rendering issues, or compatibility problems — and propose robust architectural or design solutions.
Required:
- 3+ in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar), C#, XAML — and ideally additional experience with native Windows code (C++, Win32/WinRT/COM).
- Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) and native code.
- Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
- Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or similar), and a dedication to building accessible and inclusive software.
- Excellent software engineering fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading or asynchronous programming (where relevant).
- Experience leading technical design, mentoring other engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
- Strong communication skills; ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive consensus.
- A user-centric mindset: focus on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.
Preferred / Bonus:
- Experience with writing automated tests for UI — unit tests, integration tests, UI automation tests; familiarity with relevant testing frameworks.
- Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
- Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.
- Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
- Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
- Demonstrated ability to take ownership of feature areas or modules and drive them long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.
What we offer
- A high-impact role: you will define architecture, shape the future of our Windows product, and directly influence what millions of users see and experience.
- A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.
- Opportunities to lead — mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader technical leadership (e.g. Tech Lead, Architect).
- Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
- A purpose-driven mission: building software that’s reliable, accessible, and user-centered — making a real difference for people.

Join us for the ride!
About the Role:
We’re looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer (Mobile/Android) to take the lead in ensuring our global security products meet the highest bars of reliability. In this role, you won’t just run tests; you’ll architect and scale automation solutions for our VPN portfolio (HotspotShield, Betternet) and our flagship antivirus (UltraAV). We are agile, work quickly, and focus on outcomes. We trust our team to build the best solution to help us scale for the future.
Day to Day:
- Architect and evolve our Android automation framework (Espresso/Kakao-Cup) to support a growing portfolio of security products.
- Design sophisticated testing strategies for VPN-specific challenges, including network-dependent flows and testing under unstable or switching connection states.
- Work closely with developers and other QAs to troubleshoot and resolve issues, offering detailed bug reports.
- Uphold QA best practices and contribute to driving the QA strategy.
- Continuously explore new testing tools and methodologies to enhance the QA process.
What you bring to the table:
- At least 3 years of experience in automating UI tests for Android apps written in Kotlin
- Strong hands-on expertise with Espresso and Kakao-Cup, with the ability to test screens built in both Jetpack Compose and classic XML.
- Experience with Robolectric and Mockito for test infrastructure and mocking dependencies.
- You’re comfortable building and maintaining pipelines in CircleCI and using Bash/sh scripting for automation and result processing.
- Experience sharding and parallelizing tests using Flank, and configuring device matrices within Firebase Test Lab or similar emulators.
- An understanding of the specific challenges of testing VPN apps, such as network-dependent flows and handling connection-state flakiness.
- At least upper-intermediate level of spoken and written English
It would be great if you also had:
- Experience maintaining UI test suites across multiple apps in both mono- and multi-repo setups.
- High level of comfort with ADB, log analysis, and a working understanding of the Android build process via Gradle (Kotlin DSL).
- Experience testing A/B frameworks, including covering feature-flagged flows and variant-dependent UI.
- Familiarity with testing Google Play Billing integrations (subscriptions, purchase flows, and edge cases).
Why Join Us?
- Professional Growth: Enhance your skills by collaborating closely with talented engineers and architects.
- Meaningful Impact: Help create software that protects millions of users from cybersecurity threats.
- Supportive Environment: Join a team dedicated to innovation, mentorship, and continuous learning.
