At Cypress.io, we're on a mission to make software testing delightful and effective and thus dramatically improve the efficiency and quality of modern software development. Today, Cypress provides better, faster, and more reliable testing for anything that runs in a browser. Hundreds of thousands of developers and QA professionals use Cypress to write better code faster and release with confidence.

About Us

Cypress is ambitiously changing the status quo of testing on the web with our next-generation, open source App and a Cloud service that enables an unprecedented developer experience. Our mission is focused squarely on making testing faster, easier, more approachable and enjoyable than ever before.

As a Senior Engineer on the Component Testing team, you'll help build best in class open source tools with over 4 million downloads a week and used by over 150K developers in 90+ countries. Specifically, you will be responsible for implementing innovative techniques for testing components written in popular frameworks like Vue, React, and Angular. 

Our ideal candidate is an experienced front-end engineer who understands the complexities of current component testing tools, and wants to deliberately strive to improve the lives of fellow engineering teams. If you’d like to be in the driver's seat to lead and promote industry shaping new testing techniques, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Look beyond symptoms to assess and comprehend the core problems developers are trying to solve
  • Collaborate with engineers, product owners, and designers to create intuitive and engaging solutions for testing popular JavaScript component libraries
  • Communicate and participate within the Cypress developer community and broader open source ecosystem
  • Work with other Cypress App teams to create a unified end-user testing experience
  • Architect, design, implement and document features/enhancements putting developer experience at the forefront
  • Develop workflows to support the ecosystem of front-end development tools and expand our presence across the same
  • Advocate the value and benefits of Component Testing as a practice to the greater web development community, through presentations, demos, talks etc.

Requirements

  • Strong empathy to improve the experience of testing and software quality
  • Exceptionally comfortable developing front-end applications using Typescript and JavaScript (Native events, lower-level browser APIs, DOM, Node.js) 
  • Deep understanding of the web and the internals of web browsers
  • Adept with how frontend build tools work such as: Babel, Webpack and Vite
  • Highly opinionated, with a keen eye for intuitive API/UI design
  • Passionate about architecting applications and code that is tested, scalable, and performant
  • Ability to deliver functional solutions across multiple operating systems and browsers
  • Experience managing continuous integration to build, test, and deploy large applications
  • Value and understand the importance of open source and be comfortable committing to a largely open source codebase
  • Comfort with dynamic startup environments where change is constant and there is a need to be largely self-guided on complex problems
  • Being a self starter with the drive to take on a high degree of individual ownership
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
  • Minimum 4 years of software engineering experience

Preferred skills

  • Experience developing plugins or tools for developers. Examples include: Webpack plugins, CI Automations, VSCode extensions, Devtools extensions, source mapping, Hot/Live Reload, Testing tools
  • Experience supporting community-based feature development, bug fixing and release management. Being a contributor/maintainer of a JavaScript based open source framework or developer tool is a plus

Although we list out what we generally look for, we are very likely missing other attributes and skills that you have that could make you a great fit, and are not currently listed. Research has shown this especially applies to women and other marginalized groups, who tend to apply if they check 100% of every box, versus men who apply if they hit roughly 60%. The point we’re getting at, it doesn’t hurt to take a chance and apply!

We are an inclusive employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
