What is Bilt?
Bilt is the loyalty program for renters, transforming rent payments into valuable rewards while connecting members with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™.
With every on-time rent payment, members earn Bilt Points – the industry's most valuable and flexible points currency which they can transfer 1:1 to their favorite airline miles and hotel points, use them for future rent payments, redeem for everyday purchases, or save them for a down payment on a home. Plus, they can build their credit history by automatically reporting their rent payments to all three major credit bureaus for free, and unlock exclusive rewards on the 1st of every month with Rent Day®.
As part of being a Bilt Member, they also get even more value at over 40,000 merchants nationwide with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™ at local restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, on Lyft rides, and more.
In partnership with the top multifamily owners and operators across the country, Bilt has become the largest network of homes that reward their residents on rent, managing payments for over 4.5MM units across the nation.
Residents who live in the network make payments directly through the Bilt Payment Center and get access to benefits including additional earn opportunities on new leases, renewals, and more.

In this role, you will…
- Design, build, and maintain mobile test automation frameworks from the ground up for our React Native applications using Appium and Selenium
- Develop and execute automated end-to-end test suites covering both iOS and Android platforms
- Create and maintain automated regression suites that run as part of our CI/CD pipeline
- Implement data-driven testing approaches to maximize test coverage with minimal code duplication
- Write clear, maintainable test scripts in JavaScript/TypeScript that align with our mobile development stack
- Collaborate with mobile engineers to identify testable patterns and improve app testability
- Own the mobile QA process, including developing, implementing, and maintaining test plans, test scenarios, and test cases specific to mobile user experiences
- Conduct performance and load testing on mobile applications to ensure smooth user experiences
- Troubleshoot and debug issues with test automation scripts across different devices and OS versions
- (Nice-to-have) Set up and maintain device farms or cloud-based testing environments (e.g., BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, AWS Device Farm)
- Assist developers in finding and reporting defects with detailed, accurate, and concise steps to reproduce on specific devices/platforms
- Stay current with React Native testing best practices and emerging mobile automation tools and technologies
- Recommend improvements to our testing approach, tools, and frameworks based on industry trends and team needs
- (Nice-to-have) Support web automation testing efforts using Playwright for our web-based experiences
In terms of qualifications, we’re seeking:
- At least 3 years of experience in mobile automation testing
- Hands-on experience with Appium and Selenium for mobile test automation
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript (experience with React Native testing is a plus)
- Proven experience building mobile automation frameworks from scratch
- Experience with data-driven testing methodologies
- Familiarity with mobile app architecture and React Native component structures
- Knowledge of iOS and Android platform differences and device-specific testing considerations
- Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) and integrating mobile tests into build pipelines
- Comfortable working with simulators, emulators, and real device testing environments
- Experience with mobile-specific testing tools and frameworks (Detox, Jest, Maestro, or similar is a bonus)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
- (Nice-to-have) Experience with Playwright or similar modern web automation frameworks
Benefits:
- Compensation - We offer a competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity and our performance bonus program
- Health insurance for you (& your loved ones) from day one - Enjoy a One Medical Membership, wellness stipends, family programs and more, on us. We’ve got you and your family covered from day one.
- 401k plan with a match - Retirement may feel more like a pipe dream than a reality but we’re here to help you get there.
- Commuter FSAs - We believe the best ideas come from being together in one place. We just don’t think getting there should be so expensive.
- UNLIMITED PTO - Because we believe that working hard shouldn’t mean always working. Take time for you as often as you need it.
- Exclusive Employee only Bilt Points - We give our employees unique opportunities to earn points throughout their time at Bilt.
At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
The salary range for an Automation Engineer is $150,000 - 180,000 and will be eligible for equity and an annual performance-based bonus.
