• Participate in release readiness activities and provide thoughtful risk assessments
• Review developer-authored tests and collaborate to ensure high-quality automation across the team
• Help elevate quality practices within the team by sharing learnings, contributing documentation, and mentoring junior QEs or developers contributing tests

• 5+ years of experience testing production-scale web applications
• Hands-on experience with Cypress or similar UI automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, WebdriverIO)
• Experience writing Gherkin (Given/When/Then) scenarios as part of BDD workflows
• Comfort working with JavaScript in the context of UI automation
• Familiarity testing modern front-end applications (React, Vue, Angular, or Svelte)
• Experience planning and executing cross-browser and responsive testing
• Exposure to accessibility testing approaches (keyboard navigation, focus management, semantics) and tools
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, UX, and product teams
• A proactive mindset and enthusiasm for learning new tools, frameworks, and testing patterns

Nice To Have:

• Experience with visual regression tools (Percy, Chromatic, Applitools, etc.)
• Familiarity with accessibility-focused tooling (axe-core, pa11y, Storybook accessibility add-ons)
• Experience with BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or other cross-browser cloud platforms
• Understanding of authentication and authorization concepts
• Experience working on distributed teams
• Exposure to Agile/Scrum workflows
• Knowledge of security testing concepts or OWASP practices
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud platforms

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Be part of an outstanding, collaborative team and work alongside exceptional engineers and product experts.
• Build and deliver solutions using the latest web technologies and frameworks.
• Deepen your expertise in authentication and authorization protocols, and gain hands-on experience in identity and access management (IAM) at enterprise scale.
