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

Join a dedicated team of Polish and British developers, testers, DevOps engineers, Data Engineers, Project Managers, and Scrum Masters building innovative document management software to advance clinical research.
We’ve partnered with our client for years, working on a trust-based, collaborative model. Our work spans development (.NET, C#, React), automation (Playwright), and DevOps (Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform), with a strong culture of knowledge sharing and teamwork.

Position – how you’ll contribute

We are looking for a growth-oriented intern or junior .NET developer who already has solid C# basics and genuinely wants to learn. We welcome a proactive mindset, where you treat AI as an everyday coding buddy that helps you debug, research, and learn faster – not as a "magic button" that does the thinking for you. If you are ready to take ownership of your tasks, want to understand how your code works under the hood, and are excited to solve real business puzzles in a relaxed, no-nonsense engineering culture, you’ll fit right in.

Your daily tasks will include:

• Developing backend tasks in .NET, maintaining APIs, and assisting with system integrations
• Writing clean, testable code and creating unit tests with mentor support
• Utilizing AI tools consciously for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and technical research
• Participating in code reviews, internal workshops, technical demos, and analyzing bugs/logs
• Collaborating closely with experienced developers and verifying AI-generated solutions before implementation

Qualifications

Expectations – the experience you need

• At least 1 year of commercial experience
• Practical knowledge of C# and willingness to grow within the .NET / ASP.NET Core ecosystem
• Hands-on experience demonstrated through personal projects, a GitHub profile, or commercial exposure
• Basic understanding of backend development, Web API, Entity Framework, and databases
• Working knowledge of Git and the ability to read and improve existing code
• Practical skills in leveraging AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Gemini) for debugging, research, and automation
• Good understanding of AI limitations, including hallucinations, data security, privacy, and the necessity of verification
• English proficiency at a B2 level or higher
• Strong communication skills, independence, curiosity, and readiness to receive constructive feedback

Additional skills – the edge you have

• Active GitHub profile or a portfolio of post-hours applications
• Basic knowledge of SQL and database optimization
• First experience with writing unit tests
• Strong interest in work automation and productivity tools
• Mindset focused on continuous self-development and problem-solving

What does the recruitment process look like?

During the interview, we will want to see how you think, solve problems, and use AI. You can expect a technical conversation and practical questions about .NET, C#, APIs, and AI tools.

We will look not only at the result, but also at your way of working:

• how you analyse a problem
• how you formulate questions for AI
• how you verify answers
• what you accept
• what you reject
• how you explain your technical decisions
