About the Role

We are looking for a Principal QA Engineer (Cypress) to lead testing strategy, automation, and quality initiatives across our agile development teams. This role is a key part of ensuring our products are reliable, scalable, and deliver great experiences for our users.

You’ll take ownership of both the hands-on execution and the strategic direction of quality engineering, helping shape how we test, what we automate, and how we continuously improve. If you’re passionate about building robust automated test frameworks and influencing engineering practices across teams, we’d love to talk to you.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of end-to-end test strategies for web-based applications
  • Define and drive adoption of scalable test automation frameworks using Cypress (JavaScript / TypeScript preferred)
  • Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other QA engineers to ensure test coverage aligns with business and technical goals
  • Mentor and support QA and software engineers in improving test coverage, automation, and quality ownership
  • Author and maintain functional and regression test cases and plans for complex user stories
  • Review and guide the work of other engineers, ensuring consistency and high standards across teams
  • Lead performance and load testing initiatives and analyze results to identify bottlenecks and reliability issues
  • Contribute to sprint planning, provide QA estimates, and ensure testing aligns with sprint goals
  • Communicate risks, progress, and test outcomes clearly to stakeholders and leadership

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications :

  • 10+ years of experience in software QA, including both manual and automated testing
  • Strong hands-on experience with Cypress for UI automation testing
  • Proficiency in JavaScript or TypeScript for writing automated tests
  • Deep understanding of testing methodologies (unit, functional, acceptance, regression, performance, load)
  • Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining test automation frameworks at scale
  • Familiarity with Gherkin syntax and behavior-driven development (BDD) practices
  • Experience with performance and load testing, including scripting and analysis
  • Comfortable working in agile environments and participating in all stages of the development lifecycle
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Nice to Have :

  • Experience with CI / CD tools and integrating automated tests into deployment pipelines
  • Experience testing microservices or distributed systems
  • Background mentoring or leading QA engineers in a cross-functional setting
  • Exposure to testing APIs or backend systems alongside UI testing
  • What You’ll Get

  • A high-impact role in a company where quality is a shared priority
  • Opportunities to influence and elevate engineering practices across teams
  • Support for career development, including mentorship, learning resources, and conference access
  • A collaborative and inclusive team culture
  • Flexible remote work options
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Create a job alert for this search
