Collected role description
<section class="pb-4 border-b border-surface-200 dark:border-surface-700"><h2 class="text-lg font-semibold text-surface-900 dark:text-white mb-3">About <!-- -->Fynd</h2><div class="text-surface-600 dark:text-surface-400 space-y-3 whitespace-pre-wrap">Fynd is a frontier technology company. We started at the intersection of technology and retail because that is where technology was the least available. Over the years, we became one of India’s largest retail technology platforms. But retail was the entry point, not the boundary.
Today, Fynd builds intelligent software that runs business operations. Not tools that help people work faster, but systems that absorb entire functions: manufacturing, marketing, logistics, commerce, quality control. We sit inside our customers’ businesses, harvest deep domain context, and build AI systems that operate autonomously. We are expanding from retail into manufacturing, generative media, physical AI, and healthcare.</div></section> <section><h2 class="text-lg font-semibold text-surface-900 dark:text-white mb-3">Role Overview</h2><p class="text-surface-600 dark:text-surface-400 whitespace-pre-wrap">As a Software Development Engineer in Test - 1, you will play a critical role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of software products by building intelligent test solutions and collaborating closely with engineering teams.
