Senior Automation Engineer

Job description

###  ### We’re looking for a **Senior Automation Engineer** to join our Central Automation team in Helsinki and help shape the next generation of engineering tools across Supercell. You’ll work alongside our Automation team to improve the systems hundreds of automated tests rely on every day, build infrastructure that game teams trust, and explore how AI can remove friction from development, testing, and releasing games. Your work won’t belong to a single title or technology, it will influence how multiple game teams build and ship products every day. If you enjoy solving hard engineering problems, building platforms other developers love to use, and experimenting with new technologies before they become industry standard, we’d love to meet you. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how engineers across Supercell build, test, and ship games. Rather than maintaining a single automation framework, you’ll help define the future of engineering productivity, from modern CI systems and scalable automation infrastructure to AI-powered developer workflows. If you enjoy building platforms, solving hard technical problems, and enabling others to do their best work, you’ll fit right in. We partner closely with game teams to understand what slows them down and build tools that help them move faster without sacrificing confidence. Rather than owning one product, we own the developer experience around automation.  ## What You'll Do - Design and evolve the automation infrastructure used across Supercell. - Improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of our automation platforms. - Build tools that help developers test, debug, and release with confidence. - Partner closely with game teams to solve real engineering problems rather than hypothetical ones. - Help define how AI can improve automation, testing, debugging, reporting, and developer productivity. - Reduce flaky tests, improve feedback loops, and increase trust in automation. - Take ownership of services and infrastructure that other engineers rely on every day. - Continuously improve the developer experience across our engineering ecosystem. ## We are looking for someone who - Has built and operated automation platforms or infrastructure at scale. - Understands that great automation is as much about reliability and usability as it is about writing tests. - Has hands-on experience with areas like mobile automation, device farms, CI/CD, job orchestration, infrastructure, or developer tooling. - Is excited by the opportunities AI creates and wants to turn those opportunities into practical tools that engineers actually use. - Enjoys working across teams, understanding different perspectives, and solving problems collaboratively. - Takes ownership, enjoys ambiguity, and is comfortable figuring things out without waiting for detailed instructions. - Wants to build platforms that make hundreds of other engineers more productive. ## Would Be Nice if You Also Have - Experience with Android and/or iOS development. - Strong C++ or Java experience. - Deep knowledge of mobile automation frameworks and supporting infrastructure. - Experience operating large-scale device farms. - Experience with AI-assisted engineering, including test generation, failure classification, log analysis, or developer productivity tooling. - Experience working in game development or mobile gaming. ––– *That's it about the role!
