Job description

Company Description

Software Mind develops solutions that make an impact for companies around the globe. Tech giants & unicorns, transformative projects, emerging technologies and limitless opportunities – these are a few words that describe an average day for us. Building cross-functional engineering teams that take ownership and crave more means we’re always on the lookout for talented people who bring passion and creativity to every project. Our culture embraces openness, acts with respect, shows grit & guts and combines employment with enjoyment.

Job Description

Project – the aim you’ll have:
The solution is backend-heavy, built on distributed microservices and hosted on Azure. The product is already live, but automation coverage is incomplete, especially around integration, contract, and performance testing. New functionality is actively being added — so we need robust and scalable automation to ensure confidence in future releases. The goal is to have efficient test coverage at the right levels, improve visibility, and reduce regression risk without over-relying on end-to-end UI tests.

Position – how you’ll contribute:

Implement and maintain automated tests across UI, API, and integration layers.
Create and maintain dashboards using Grafana to surface automation metrics such as test coverage, flakiness, and build health.
Work closely with delivery team members to understand business flows and technical architecture — but ensure all automation efforts align with the overall quality strategy led centrally.
We need robust and scalable automation with reliable test data management to ensure confidence in future releases.
Collaborate on contract testing using Pactflow, focusing on service-to-service reliability.
