## Description

As a Junior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in the development, testing, and reliability of Fogsphere's AI platform.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys coding but is equally passionate about automation, quality, and the reliability of the systems they help build., * Design, write, and execute unit and integration tests using frameworks such as pytest, unittest, Playwright.

 * Support test data preparation, validation scripts, and backend service testing.
 * Assist in automating CI/CD pipelines on Azure, improving build and deployment reliability.
 * Collaborate with Software, QA, and SRE Engineers to identify, reproduce, and document bugs and performance issues.
 * Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving code quality, testing coverage, and deployment stability.
 * Learn and apply DevOps and SRE principles - observability, monitoring, and automated recovery.
 * Explore infrastructure-as-code, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-based automation.
