Automation Test Engineer (Cypress)

We are looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Automation Software Engineer to join our Quality Assurance and Engineering teams.

You will be the primary advocate for automated quality, utilizing Cypress to build scalable, maintainable, and efficient test suites. You will work closely with our manual QA team and front-end developers to integrate automated testing into our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that every deployment meets our high standards for performance and HIPAA-compliant security.

Responsibilities:

Automation Strategy & Execution

• Design, develop, and maintain a comprehensive E2E automation framework using Cypress for our web platforms.

• Create high-quality, reusable automated test scripts that cover critical user journeys, edge cases, and regression scenarios.

• Integrate Cypress tests into our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) to enable automated quality gates for every pull request.

• Conduct regular code reviews for automation scripts to ensure best practices, such as the use of Page Object Models or App Actions.

Quality & Collaboration

• Work alongside Manual QA engineers to identify high-value automation candidates and transition manual test cases into the automated suite.

• Debug and troubleshoot flaky tests or environment-related issues to maintain a high level of trust in the automation results.

• Collaborate with React developers to ensure code is "testable" by advocating for data-selectors and stable DOM structures.

• Document automation processes, setup guides, and best practices for the broader engineering team.

Reporting & Analysis

• Generate and analyze automation execution reports, communicating quality trends and risks to project stakeholders.

• Continuously optimize test execution time and resource usage to maintain a fast feedback loop for the development team.

Required Skills & Experience

• 4+ years of professional experience in Software Quality Engineering or Test Automation.

• Expert-level proficiency with Cypress and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Proven experience building automation frameworks for complex React applications.

• Strong understanding of modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, DOM manipulation, and RESTful APIs).

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools and version control systems (Git).

• Excellent analytical and debugging skills, with a "find-it-and-fix-it" mentality.

Preferred Skills & Knowledge

• Experience in the Healthcare sector and an understanding of testing in a HIPAA-regulated environment.

• Familiarity with API testing tools (e.g., Postman) and performance testing.

• Knowledge of visual regression testing tools.
