Job Description
Ready to launch your career where coding meets quality? We’re looking for enthusiastic and driven Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) Interns to embed themselves within our engineering teams. This isn’t a traditional QA role—you’ll be directly responsible for designing and building cutting-edge automation frameworks using industry-leading tools. If you have a passion for clean code and a relentless pursuit of software perfection, join us!
What We’re Looking For (Foundational Skills):
- Programming Prowess: Proven foundational knowledge and experience in Java development (academic, project, or bootcamp), with exposure to developing applications using the Spring Boot framework.
- Engineering Fundamentals: A solid grasp of Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) concepts—you know how to write simple, modular, and maintainable code.
- Database Literacy: Good knowledge of SQL and the ability to interact with relational databases (like MariaDB). You understand how to verify data integrity.
- Automation Mindset: A true passion for writing clean, simple, and efficient test automation code for APIs (RESTful services) and/or User Interfaces.
- Analytical Rigor: The ability to convert user stories and requirements into detailed, executable test cases and scenarios.
- Quality Methodologies: Understanding of modern software quality principles, including Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD).
Bonus Skills That Will Make Your Application Stand Out:
- Front-End Familiarity: Basic exposure to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and modern frameworks like ReactJS is a plus for tackling full-stack automation challenges.
- Tooling Experience: Any experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Cucumber) or version control systems like Git is highly valued.
- Polyglot Potential: Exposure to other programming languages like Python for scripting or tooling is a bonus, showing a quick learning ability.
