As a Cypress Testing SME, you'll architect, scale, and continuously improve end-to-end (E2E) automation that accelerates delivery, reduces risk, and raises the bar for accessibility and compliance. You'll mentor a cross-functional team and turn our CI/CD pipeline into a fast, trusted feedback loop. If you enjoy shaping testing strategy and rolling up your sleeves to build clean, maintainable Cypress suites, this role gives you real ownership: from test architecture and data strategy to CI optimization, reporting, and a11y audits. You'll collaborate across Dev, QA, BA, and DevOps, and your decisions will directly improve release speed and confidence.

Design testing strategy & architecture: define test strategies that align with modern QA standards: test data management, network stubbing/mocking (cy.intercept), cross-environment stability, and flake management (timeouts, retries, isolation). Own CI/CD reliability & speed: configure, optimize, and troubleshoot GitHub Actions workflows that run Cypress at scale (parallelization, caching, test shard strategy, artifacts/screenshots/videos, dashboards). Troubleshoot & continuously improve: diagnose failures locally and in pipelines, differentiate true defects vs. flaky tests, and drive corrective patterns (stable selectors, network stubs, test isolation, environment parity). Mentor & uplift the team: coach testers and developers on Cypress tooling, patterns, and frameworks; author internal guides and working examples; pair-program on tricky cases to accelerate adoption. Integrate quality throughout the
