Job Description

Software Mind is seeking a QA Engineer with strong technical instincts, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative mindset to join a backend services team focused on client launch work and third-party integrations.

About the Role

Our client's team supports client launch work within a framework that integrates with third parties and their clients. The immediate focus is implementing API and UI development to make standard onboarding tasks self-service — removing engineers from repetitive, manual work. Long-term, this role is expected to grow into owning quality processes, improving test and environment management, and driving visibility into the team's workflows.

This is a role for someone who can learn tools quickly, but cannot be taught motivation, communication, and a genuine commitment to delivering quality software.

Main Responsibilities

  • Test and validate API integrations and end-to-end scenarios to identify and isolate problem areas
  • Perform browser-based troubleshooting and debug integration issues across environments
  • Collaborate with the team to define and refine work items, evaluate bugs, and drive quality process improvements
  • Work alongside developers in a C#, Angular/React environment to understand system behavior and improve test coverage
  • Use and learn QA tooling including BrowserStack, BlazeMeter, Cypress, and Postman
  • Contribute to improving testing processes and environment management over time
  • Promote visibility into team processes and advocate for quality standards within the team
  • Write and execute SQL queries (MySQL) to validate data and support debugging
  • Work with AWS-hosted services and understand cloud-based deployment contexts

Qualifications

Requirements

  • +90% English written and oral (B2 level minimum) — strong communication is essential
  • 3+ years of QA or testing experience in a software development environment
  • Hands-on experience with API testing and troubleshooting integration and end-to-end scenarios
  • Working knowledge of SQL (MySQL) for data validation
  • Familiarity with C# and Angular/React environments — ability to navigate and understand code context
  • Experience with browser-based debugging and front-end troubleshooting
  • Solid understanding of AWS services in a testing or QA context
  • Highly motivated, engaged, and collaborative — someone who takes ownership of quality

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Cypress, BrowserStack, or BlazeMeter / JMeter
  • Familiarity with Postman for API testing
  • Experience working in an agile/scrum environment
  • Background in client onboarding or self-service platform workflows
  • Experience improving or documenting QA and environment management processes

Additional Information
