Please note this role does not offer visa sponsorship.
The Role:
We’re looking for a Quality Engineer with strong automation testing experience (Cypress.io) to join one of the company’s agile development squads.
You’ll be a key part of the software delivery process — supporting new feature development, ensuring testability across the lifecycle, and driving best practices for automation, continuous integration, and deployment.
This role suits someone who’s proactive, detail-oriented, and excited by the idea of shaping testing standards in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with developers and product teams to build highly testable and reliable software.
- Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks using Cypress.io and other modern tools.
- Champion quality and testing best practices across the engineering function.
- Conduct root cause analysis, identify issues, and ensure effective resolution.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of testing tools, processes, and documentation.
- Work closely with stakeholders to communicate test progress, results, and quality metrics.
Essential Skills & Experience:
- 3+ years’ automation testing experience.
- Strong hands-on experience with Cypress.io (or similar web testing frameworks).
- Background working in modern web applications (React, HTML/CSS, REST, GraphQL).
- Experience implementing BDD practices and CI/CD pipelines.
- Solid understanding of version control systems (Git).
Nice to Have:
- Experience testing distributed or cloud-based applications.
- Knowledge of accessibility standards and testing tools.
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases (e.g. MongoDB).
- Exposure to API, load, or security testing.
- Appreciation of DevOps principles and automation tooling.
