Experience writing end-to-end automated tests using Playwright (or similar tools).
Familiarity with browser extension APIs (Chrome Extensions, Manifest V3) is a plus but not required.
Bonus:
Experience with security tools or SaaS products.
Knowledge of Go (Golang) for backend integration.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with product, design, and backend teams.
Tech Stack
Core: JavaScript, TypeScript
Testing: Playwright
Backend: Go (Golang), gRPC, REST APIs
Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
What Success Looks Like in 6 Months
You’ve shipped multiple features in the browser extension that improve visibility and security for our customers.
You’ve implemented robust automated end-to-end test coverage for critical workflows using Playwright.
You’ve established strong collaboration with the endpoint and backend teams, ensuring smooth integration and consistent functionality.
You’ve contributed to improving performance and reliability across different browsers and environments.
Joining Cyberhaven is a chance to revolutionize data security.
