Job Description
About the RoleWe're looking for a QA / Automation Engineering Intern who wants to build quality systemsnot just run test cases.
You'll work on designing and implementing automated testing across audio pipelines and enterprise workflows in a fast-moving environment where systems evolve quickly and ambiguity is constant. This means creating reliable test infrastructure, improving coverage, and ensuring production quality keeps pace with rapid development.
You'll collaborate closely with founders and engineers to prevent issues before they reach customers. Your work will directly impact system reliability, release confidence, and user trust.
If you enjoy breaking systems, automating intelligently, and thinking deeply about edge cases, this role will stretch your skills in the right ways.
What You Will DoDesign and implement automated tests for audio pipelines and enterprise workflows
Build and maintain reproducible test datasets and scenarios
Implement API, contract, and UI/E2E tests (Playwright or Cypress)
Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines
Define and enforce quality gates for releases
Collaborate with engineering to debug distributed system failures
Document test strategies, edge cases, and known risks
What We're Looking ForFamiliarity with a scripting language (Python, JavaScript, etc.)
Exposure to test automation frameworks (pytest, JUnit, or similar)
Basic understanding of API and contract testing
Interest in UI/E2E testing tools like Playwright or Cypress
Comfort working with CI/CD tools and pipelines
Ability to debug issues across multiple components
Founding MindsetYou think in terms of system reliability and customer trust
You ask what happens if this fails before features ship
You take ownership of production quality
You prioritise robust solutions over brittle test hacks
You proactively find bugs instead of waiting for them
BonusExperience testing data pipelines or ML/AI systems
Exposure to performance or load testing
Experience setting up monitoring in test environments
What Success Looks LikeWithin 46 weeks, you should be able to:
Own automated test coverage for a critical workflow
Reduce manual regression effort in your area
Catch and help prevent at least one major issue before release
Introduce meaningful quality gates into CI/CD
What You'll GetHands-on experience building quality systems in a fast-moving startup
Direct collaboration with founders and senior engineers
Ownership over real reliability outcomes
A portfolio of test frameworks, tooling, and improvements
A strong pathway into QA, SDET, or reliability-focused engineering roles
Who This Is Not ForIf you only want to execute pre-written test cases
If you avoid ambiguity or complex debugging
If you prefer slow, heavily process-driven QA environments
If you're looking for low-effort testing work
Who Will Thrive HereBuilders who treat QA as engineering, not support work
Engineers who think in end-to-end systems
Calm debuggers of flaky and intermittent issues
High-agency Individuals Who Care Deeply About Reliability
