QA internship
Learn how software quality is ensured, discover how a modern QA team works and develop a way of thinking that will shape your whole professional career.
About the role
Many people think QA is about checking whether something works. In reality, it goes far beyond that. It’s about understanding how people use a product, anticipating problems and helping software reach production with the highest possible quality.
During the internship you’ll learn how tests are designed and run, how to catch bugs before they reach the user, and how we use AI to speed up tasks such as documentation, analysis and test automation.
What you’ll learn
An itinerary designed to get you to your first job with real technical judgement.
QA fundamentals
Understand what software quality is, what QA’s role in a team is and how to think before you start testing.
Test automation
Take your first steps with automation tools to understand how testing scales in real projects.
Teamwork
Collaborate with others, communicate what you find and learn to integrate QA work with the rest of the technical team.
Manual testing
Design and run test cases, explore software with judgement and document what you find clearly.
AI applied to testing
Learn to use AI tools to generate test cases, analyse results and document more efficiently.
Technical judgement
Develop the ability to prioritise, make reasoned decisions and tell what matters from what can wait.
Who we’re looking for
We’re not looking for previous professional experience. We’re looking for a willingness to learn and the attitude to grow.
Your profile:
2nd-year student
We only accept applications from students in their second year of training.
English essential
We work and document in English. It’s a requirement, with no exceptions.
Interest in QA
You don’t need to have practised already. You do need to be curious about testing and quality.

Understanding code, even if you’re not a developer. Reading it, following the logic and understanding what each part does.
How you work:
Good communication
Explaining what you find, asking questions and sharing your work clearly.
Collaborative attitude
Being part of a team means listening, adapting and contributing to the shared effort.
Responsibility
Doing what you commit to and letting people know when something isn’t going as expected.
Willingness to improve
Receiving feedback openly and using it to grow every week.
What you’ll find during the internship
Mentor from day one
A senior engineer assigned to accompany you throughout the programme, review your work and give you real feedback.
Applied learning

QA in real situations
Testing exercises inspired by real scenarios: requirements analysis, test case design and incident management.
AI built into the work
You’ll learn to use AI tools to generate tests, document results and automate repetitive tasks.
Current technologies
The same tools professional teams use: version control, incident management and modern environments.
All Hands
You take part in the same company-wide meetings as the rest of the team. No filters, no intern hierarchies.
