Software Engineer in Test
Could this role be an ideal match for you?
Are you a software engineer with a passion for testing through code? If you thrive in automation, have experience with Cucumber JVM, and a strong grasp of BDD principles, we might be a great fit. At Mintos, we’re looking for a Software Engineer in Test to help us evolve and scale our test automation in a regulated fintech environment.
What you will do
As a Software Engineer in Test in our smart, friendly, and self-driven engineering team, you’ll have a direct impact on the reliability and quality of systems that move real money. You'll work in a cross-functional team, own the test automation framework, and ensure meaningful test coverage across complex event-based systems.
You will:
- Design, implement, and maintain automated end-to-end tests using Cucumber JVM, Spring, Playwright and other Java-based tools.
- Own the full test development cycle: designing BDD scenarios, developing and maintaining step definitions, and integrating tests into our CI/CD pipelines.
- Apply BDD and contract-first approaches to test business-critical components in payment systems and other regulated flows.
- Continuously improve test strategy, coverage, and performance across projects.
- Work closely with developers, QAs, and product owners to understand requirements and define meaningful, high-value scenarios.
- Analyze failures, debug flaky tests, and prevent regressions by building lasting coverage.
- Participate in agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, daily standups, and retrospectives.
Your professional skills and background:
- At least 2 years of professional experience in test automation or software engineering.
- Strong programming skills in Java or a JVM language.
- Solid experience in automated API and end-to-end testing.
- Familiarity with BDD.
- Good understanding of CI/CD workflows and integrating automated tests into pipelines.
- Experience with Docker and containerized environments.
- Familiarity with SQL and ability to test data flows and storage behavior.
- Strong analytical mindset and critical thinking - able to reason about system behavior and test coverage gaps.
- Experience in writing clear, maintainable, and purpose-driven test code.
- Good level of written and spoken English.
- Bonus: familiarity with Gherkin, and practical usage of Cucumber JVM
- Bonus: experience with performance testing, contract testing (e.g., Pact), or test data management.
