Strong experience testing React applications (SPAs or Next.js) and familiarity with common patterns (hooks, state management, routing)
Proven BDD/Gherkin experience with Cypress cucumber preprocessor (e.g., @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor), writing clear feature files and maintainable step definitions
API testing for REST/GraphQL: cy.request, authentication (OAuth/OIDC/JWT), request/response validation, Postman/Newman
CI/CD pipeline integration (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) with test parallelization, artifacts, and reporting
Solid understanding of test design techniques (boundary, equivalence, negative/state-based testing) and strategies to reduce flakiness
Expertise in Cypress intercept/mocking, stubs, fixtures; network conditioning and time controls
Git proficiency and code review experience; Agile/Scrum collaboration
React Testing Library, Jest/, vitest, and Cypress Testing Library; MSW for network mocking
