π’ About Mobileum
Mobileum is a telecom technology company focused on roaming, network intelligence, security, risk management, testing and monitoring, and customer intelligence. The company says its Active Intelligence platform serves more than 1,000 Communications Service Providers across 180+ countries. Its solutions are designed to help telecom operators use network and operational data for real-time decision-making.
Its product portfolio includes roaming management, network security, testing and assurance, risk management, customer experience and data intelligence, making telecom testing and quality engineering directly relevant to its products.
π― Why This Role Is Good for Experience?
This role goes considerably beyond conventional QA automation. The selected Technical Lead will be expected to design automation architecture, write production-quality code, establish framework standards, mentor SDETs and integrate quality into CI/CD pipelines.
The performance-focused position can also provide experience with high-throughput telecom workloads, load testing, capacity planning, observability and bottleneck analysis. Mobileum’s telecom products deal with technologies and workloads where distributed systems, network protocols and real-time analytics are important. Its Roaming DNA platform, for example, provides real-time visibility across roaming traffic and supports protocols including SS7, Diameter, GTP and SIP.
π οΈ Skills Required
π» Programming: Strong Java and/or Python; TypeScript/JavaScript is an advantage.
π§ͺ Automation: Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, TestNG and PyTest.
π API Testing: REST Assured, Postman and contract testing.
ποΈ Framework Architecture: Page Object Model, fixtures, reusable utilities, design patterns and maintainable framework design.
π CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions or GitLab CI and Git-based development workflows.
π³ Cloud/Containers: Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift exposure.
β‘ Performance: JMeter, Gatling, k6 or Locust.
π Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Dynatrace/New Relic and application profiling.
π‘ Telecom: GTP, Diameter, SS7, SIP, CDR/SDR/TAP and 4G/5G core concepts.
π§ Distributed Systems: Strong debugging, service integration, failure analysis and scalability concepts.
π₯ Leadership: Mentoring, code reviews, automation strategy and cross-functional communication.
π§βπΌ Expected Mobileum Interview Rounds
For this SDET position, candidates should therefore prepare for:
πΉ Technical Round 1: Java/Python, automation frameworks, coding, debugging and testing fundamentals.
πΉ Technical Round 2: Framework architecture, API testing, CI/CD, distributed systems and system design.
πΉ Technical/Architect Round: Telecom protocols, performance engineering, scalability and real project architecture.
πΉ Managerial/HR: Technical leadership, mentoring, stakeholder management, communication and career discussion.
π° Salary Range

π Preparation Tips
π₯ 1. Build a framework-design story: Be ready to design an automation framework from scratch and explain folder structure, reusable utilities, reporting, parallel execution and maintainability.
π§ͺ 2. Prepare API + contract testing: Practice REST Assured, schema validation, authentication, negative scenarios and service-to-service validation.
β‘ 3. Go deep into performance: For the performance-focused seat, revise workload modelling, throughput, latency, concurrency, ramp-up, soak testing, bottleneck identification and SLA/SLO definitions.
π 4. Know observability: Understand how Prometheus/Grafana/Dynatrace metrics can help identify CPU, memory, database, network and application bottlenecks.
π‘ 5. Study telecom protocols: Understand the purpose and basic message flows of GTP, Diameter, SS7 and SIP, along with roaming and 4G/5G core concepts.
ποΈ 6. Prepare system design: Practice designing scalable test infrastructure for distributed applications and explain how your automation handles failures, retries, parallel execution and test-data management.
π₯ 7. Demonstrate leadership: Prepare examples showing how you mentored engineers, introduced automation standards, handled flaky tests and improved regression cycles.
π Resume Tips
Your resume should immediately communicate βTechnical Lead + SDET + Automation Architecture.β Put Java/Python, automation frameworks, API testing, CI/CD and performance engineering prominently in the skills section.
For every major project, quantify results such as automation coverage, regression-time reduction, test execution scale, number of engineers mentored, pipeline adoption, execution parallelism or performance improvements.
If you have telecom experience, explicitly mention roaming, GTP, Diameter, SS7, SIP, CDR/TAP, 4G/5G or network analytics. For the performance-focused position, highlight JMeter/Gatling/k6/Locust and specific workload or scalability projects.
