  • Author and maintain test plans, test cases, and defect reports
  • Provide go/no-go release recommendations backed by execution records.
  • Execute manual, regression, and exploratory testing across desktop, mobile browsers, and physical devices (including cellular- and VPN-connected hardware).
  • Extend and maintain Cypress E2E suites,including WebSocket/real-time, async state, token refresh, and boundary-value flows,and integrate them into CI/CD.
  • Write scripts supporting test tooling and automation infrastructure.
  • Verify accessibility to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
  • Validate upgrade paths, persisted-data compatibility, and offline/reconnect behavior.
Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science or a related field
  • 3+ years' experience in a dedicated QA or Test Engineering role supporting release of production web apps.
  • Hands-on Cypress skills; able to read and write JavaScript/TypeScript well enough to author, debug, and maintain automated tests.
  • Comfortable reading JavaScript/TypeScript with React to diagnose test failures.
  • Strong test-case design fundamentals and risk-based prioritization.
  • Track and manager defects with JIRA, GitLab Issues, or equivalent; experience integrating tests into CI/CD.
  • Fluent with browser DevTools (Network, Console, WebSocket, storage), as well as REST/JSON/ Git, and Postman or curl.
  • Understand network fundamentals (IP, subnets, gateways, VPNs) and have experience testing network-connected or embedded devices in a lab setting.
  • Write scripts in Python or Bash to support test tooling.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Formal test management tool (TestRail, qTest, Xray, Zephyr).
  • Real-time / pub-sub testing (WebSocket, WAMP, MQTT).
  • Cryptographic or security-sensitive features: key lifecycle, E2E encryption, IndexedDB integrity, secrets hygiene.
  • Unit/component frameworks (Vitest); accessibility tooling (axe, Lighthouse); performance testing of long-lived sessions.
  • Map-based, geospatial, or IoT telemetry UI; cellular systems exposure.
  • Docker-based test environments, GitLab CI/CD.
  • ISTQB Foundation or equivalent.
