Why Join Us?

Are you passionate about building robust, scalable systems that make a real impact?

At Governance, Compliance & Insights, you’ll join a collaborative team tackling the unique challenges of enterprise data protection.

What You’ll Do:

• Contribute to planning, estimation, and refinement of stories, epics, and design changes as part of an Agile Scrum team.
• Build out test plans to cover new areas of functionality, ensuring all necessary testing is performed.
• Refine acceptance criteria into testable units and convert those into automated tests that execute efficiently and reliably.
• Integrate automated tests with CI/CD pipelines and ensure successful automation as part of our standard build process.
• Occasional manual testing when automation is not an option.
• Report, reproduce, and help development resolve defects, emphasis on troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and prevention of similar issues in the future.
• Pushing for continual improvement in everything we do.

What You’ll Bring:

• Domain expertise in Quality Engineering with a strong emphasis on designing, implementing, and optimizing automated testing frameworks and strategies.
• Experience test planning and breaking down stories/requirements into testable units.
• Full-stack experience in automated testing, validating mostly back-end interfaces and services, including RESTful APIs as mandatory and having front-end web-based user interfaces is nice to have.
• Solid programming skills and strong experience automating in Java is mandatory and having JavaScript, typescript or similar is a nice to have.
• Experience on building and scaling tests using frameworks like Junit/TestNg or similar is mandatory and having Cypress/Playwright would be nice to have.
• Familiarity working with public cloud, especially AWS and utilising its SDK to interact with Cloud Services for testing.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, especially using Jenkins and working with pipelines.
• Experience/knowledge in leveraging AI tools in building agents, using for reviews and generating skeleton code.
• Familiarity with using monitoring and observability tools like Grafana to support test analysis and validation.
• Experience troubleshooting and supporting customers with product features, including investigating issues and providing technical guidance.
• Bias for action and problem solving – eagerness to take initiative and make things happen.

What We’re Looking For:

• Impact: Your work will directly influence the security and success of global enterprises.
• Growth: Opportunities for technical leadership, mentorship, and continuous learning.
• Modern Stack: Work with the latest cloud-native and DevOps technologies.
• Supportive Culture: Join a team that values innovation, autonomy, and personal growth.

Qualifications:

What We Bring:

Join our GCI team to accelerate your career journey, working with cutting-edge technologies and contributing to projects that have real customer impact.

You will be immersed in a dynamic environment that recognizes and celebrates your achievements.

Mimecast offers formal and on the job learning opportunities, maintains a comprehensive benefits package that helps our employees and their family members to sustain a healthy lifestyle, and importantly - working in cross functional teams to build your knowledge!

Our Hybrid Model:

We provide you with the flexibility to live balanced, healthy lives through our hybrid working model that champions both collaborative teamwork and individual flexibility.

Employees are expected to come to the office at least two days per week, because working together in person:
