Senior QA Automation Engineer (Cypress Expert)

As a Senior QA Automation Engineer specializing in Cypress, you will be responsible for leading the automated testing strategy for React-based web applications. You will work independently as the QA owner, ensuring the creation of clean and scalable scripts, development of reliable test suites, and maintenance of high-quality standards throughout the product lifecycle. Collaboration with developers and product managers will be essential to integrate automation scripts into the CI/CD pipeline efficiently. Your key responsibilities will include designing, developing, and managing automated test scripts using Cypress, establishing a sustainable end-to-end automation test framework, collaborating with the team to create testable user stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring comprehensive coverage for critical flows such as functional, regression, and UI tests, and integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines. Additionally, you will conduct API testing, potentially integrating it with Cypress or other tools like Postman, and maintain documentation for automation setup and test plans. Reporting bugs with detailed steps and logs, as well as following through to resolution, will also be part of your role. The ideal candidate for this position should possess at least 3 years of experience in software testing with a strong emphasis on automation. Expertise in Cypress and modern JS/TS-based test automation is crucial, along with the ability to write clean, modular, and reusable test scripts. A solid understanding of web application architecture, DOM manipulations, and experience in testing REST APIs and integrating them with frontend flows is highly desirable. Proficiency in working with DevTools, Git, and CI/CD pipelines, as well as familiarity with Agile/Scrum workflows and QA best practices, will be beneficial for success in this role.,
