Software Engineer Internship

Responsibilities • Test Real-Time Interfaces: Work with engineering to ensure dashboards and frontend experiences remain stable and responsive under heavy loads. • API Testing: Test REST APIs for correct status codes, response times, authentication behavior, and accurate payload delivery. • Bug Detection & Tracking: Identify, reproduce, document, and track software bugs and UI/UX inconsistencies. • Regression Testing: Collaborate with Core Engineering to verify bug fixes and ensure existing functionality isn't affected by new changes. • Frontend Validation: Test user flows across different browsers, screen sizes, and interaction states. • Real-Time Testing: Help test WebSocket connections, live data updates, reconnection behavior, and real-time dashboard functionality. • Caching & Auth Testing: Help map and test data-caching workflows, session handling, authentication loops, and protected routes. • Test Automation: Assist in creating and improving automated tests using tools such as Playwright or similar frameworks. • Quality Improvement: Work with developers to identify recurring issues and suggest practical improvements to product reliability. Requirements Technical Skills • Basic understanding of the MERN stack — MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. • Comfortable working with React-based web applications and understanding basic frontend workflows. • Basic knowledge of REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes, JSON payloads, and API responses. • Familiarity with Postman, Playwright, Cypress, or similar testing tools is preferred. • Basic understanding of Git/GitHub and standard development workflows. • Understanding of browser DevTools, network requests, console errors, and basic debugging is a plus. • Exposure to WebSockets, authentication, caching, or real-time applications is an advantage. Mindset & Soft Skills • Strong debugging instincts and the ability to think beyond the happy path. • Excellent attention to detail when testing interfaces and user flows. • A genuine interest in breaking software, finding edge cases, and uncovering hidden bugs. • Ability to reproduce problems clearly and communicate them to engineers. • Willingness to learn, experiment, and work closely with the Core Engineering team. • Practical skills and portfolio projects are valued more than formal degrees. Eligibility • Citizenship: Indian Citizen. • Language: Fluent Hindi; limited English proficiency is acceptable. • Students, freshers, self-taught developers, and candidates with strong personal/portfolio projects are welcome.
