• Collaborate closely with UX designers to internalize all design details including:
  • Focus states
  • Animation timings & easing curves
  • Content scaling
  • Accessibility (A11y) requirements
  • Remote/D-pad navigation flows
• Proactively test user journeys, edge cases, and dynamic UI states to identify nuanced UX defects not usually caught by functional testing.
• File high-quality bug reports with clear reproduction steps, visual evidence, expected vs. actual behavior, and severity assessment.
• Track all issues aggressively through resolution and verification stages, ensuring no UX inconsistency reaches production.
• Special emphasis on 10-foot experience testing, validating UI behavior on large screens, remote-based navigation, and focus management.
• Validate remote interactions including:
  • D-pad logic
  • Focus retention & movement
  • Latency sensitivity
  • Overscroll behavior
• Partner with development, product, and QA teams to ensure UX integrity throughout the lifecycle.

• 6+ years of experience in UX Testing, Interaction Testing, or Visual QA.

• Deep familiarity with:
  • Remote/D-pad navigation
  • Focus-based UI systems
  • Animation validation
  • A11y / Accessibility testing
• Experience testing Android TV or Google TV platforms highly preferred.
• Ability to interpret design documentation (mockups, motion specs, redlines, Figma files).
• Exceptional attention to detail and passion for pixel-perfect UI behavior.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to advocate for UX quality.
• Ability to work effectively with designers, engineers, and PMs in a cross-functional environment.
