Remote QA Engineer — Cypress & E2E Testing Specialist

SFE; United States; Remote; USD 90,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

Synchrony Systems, Inc. is seeking a QA Engineer to validate Cypress E2E and unit tests for React applications in a remote setting. You will own test migration, write comprehensive Cypress specs, and ensure accessibility and cross-browser compatibility across Kubernetes/AWS deployments.

The role requires strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills, experience with Jest/Vitest, and familiarity with ForgeRock identity flows. Join a team focused on robust quality across dev, sandbox, and UAT environments.

Qualifications

• Strong Cypress E2E experience: authoring, maintaining, and refactoring spec suites for React applications.
• Unit testing with Jest or Vitest and React Testing Library; proficient in JavaScript or TypeScript for test code.
• Automated accessibility testing with axe-core and manual WCAG 2.1 AA validation; Lighthouse CI or Web Vitals monitoring.
• Cross-browser testing via Browser Stack or equivalent; structured defect management with clear reproduction steps and severity classification.
• Experience testing OAuth2 / OIDC authentication flows - token lifecycle, session handling, MFA, and logout scenarios.
• Familiarity with ForgeRock or a comparable identity platform: testing login journeys, password reset, and identity verification flows.
• Comfortable validating deployments across Kubernetes / AWS EKS environments (dev, sandbox, UAT).

Responsibilities

• Audit the existing Cypress E2E and unit test suites; categorize and prioritize migration work; deliver a written plan early in the engagement.
• Migrate unit tests from Jest to Vitest; maintain existing coverage.
• Write Cypress specs for each delivered surface: authentication flow, navigation shell, role-based access, keyboard accessibility, data table interactions, and multi-step wizard flows.
• Test ForgeRock journey flows end-to-end: login, MFA, email and phone validation, password update, session expiry, and logout.
• Run automated accessibility audits on every major route using axe-core; enforce zero critical or high violations as a sprint exit criterion.
• Set up and track Lighthouse CI performance and accessibility scores across the engagement.
• Execute cross-browser testing via BrowserStack; triage and document failures.
• Validate deployments across AWS EKS environments (dev, sandbox, UAT).
• File and track defects with clear reproduction steps; verify fixes before closing.
