Are you an aspiring tech enthusiast looking to break into the world of software testing? We are looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented QA Intern to join our team.

This is not just another internship; it is a structured learning journey designed to transform a high-potential individual into a proficient Junior QA Specialist. Our primary goal is the transfer of expert knowledge. You won't just be "doing tasks"—you will be fully immersed in a professional Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) through intensive technical mentoring.

We offer a one-month, unpaid internship.

Position – how you’ll contribute

• Translating Requirements into Tests - learning to analyze system architecture and business logic to design effective test cases and documentation.
• Ensuring Delivery Standards - preparing quality reports and status summaries that provide the team with clear insights into requirement coverage and test results.
• Championing Agile Excellence - actively participating in Scrum ceremonies (Daily, Planning, Refinement) and adopting our professional "Ways of Working" and SDLC standards.
• Continuous Knowledge Growth - engaging in intensive technical mentoring sessions and workshops to rapidly adapt expert-level testing methodologies into your daily routine.

Expectations – the experience you need

• Educational Background - student or recent graduate in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field.
• Analytical Thinking - a strong ability to think logically and break down complex processes into smaller, testable components.
