Role
Who you are
- If you’re a recent graduate in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — and you’re eager to learn, build, and take ownership — this is an excellent opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers and make a meaningful impact
- A degree—or equivalent experience—in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- Strong programming skills, especially in Python (highly preferred)
- Experience with C, C# or Rust is a plus
- Hands-on experience with various aspects of automated testing (unit, integration, system-, CI/CD pipelines)
- Practical experience with software engineering fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, version control, debugging, and clean code practices
- Interest in test automation, quality engineering, and building reliable systems
- Desire to master AI--assisted development and a willingness to learn how to apply AI tools effectively in engineering workflows
- Ability and willingness to dive into unfamiliar codebases, tools, and hardware setups
- A self-starter- mindset — someone who takes initiative, asks good questions, and enjoys solving problems
- Experience with hardware, embedded systems, or device-level- testing, a plus
What the job involves
- Nymi is looking for a Jr. Software Engineer - Automation Systems to support our current automation system, which has grown organically over time and is incorporating artificial intelligence into existing testflows, and requires a thoughtful engineering approach to ensure reliability, maintainability and scalability
- Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks and infrastructure for both software and hardware-based products
- Improve the reliability and maintainability of our existing test automation system
- Develop automated test suites that replace manual workflows and accelerate development cycles
- Collaborate closely with Quality and Engineering Teams to understand product requirements and testing needs
- Work with AI--powered tools to generate, refine, and implement automated tests, and help integrate AI into our broader automation strategy
- Diagnose, debug, and fix issues in the automation environment — including flaky tests, infrastructure failures, and integration problems
- Contribute to a culture of quality by advocating for testability, automation, and engineering best practices
- Participate in code reviews and learn from senior engineers while taking ownership of your own projects
- Occasionally visit the office for hands-on testing of embedded systems-, infrastructure setup, or team collaboration sessions
Our take
As cybersecurity attacks mount in both number and severity, increasingly novel and watertight security measures are needed across the globe. One of the frontrunners is biometrics, and a major champion of this approach is workplace wearable technology company Nymi. Nymi has developed a series of wristbands that use fingerprint and heartbeat recognition technology to confirm wearer identity. These can then be used in place of passcodes and swipecards, offering more secure and efficient workplace solutions.
Nymi has a reputable and secure track record with their tech, but public attitudes towards the privacy risks associated with wearables is likely to mean workplace adoption is slower than it has proven over recent years outside of work. Nevertheless, Nymi is seeing strong custom from enterprise companies, and its regular product updates are remaining in step with new workplace obstacles - with a social distancing feature, for example, in the newest model.
The trick will be consistently proving the value added that biometric wearables bring to the workplace. Nymi’s growing spread of high-grade clients like Bayer, AstraZeneca, and BionTech, is reflective that they are succeeding in doing so. The company's acquisition by Innominds, a Californian full-cycle product engineering services company in 2022, is evidence of this and will aid Nymi in its digital growth.
