QA Automation/Tester Intern - IT

As a QA Automation/Tester Intern with us, you'll help ensure that the online stores and digital products we deliver actually work - across browsers, devices, and real customer journeys. You won't be left on the sidelines: you'll take on real testing tasks from day one, with a mentor to guide you. Beyond manual testing, you'll start building the automation foundation that keeps our releases reliable as our customer base grows.

Your day-to-day work will include:

  • Writing and executing test cases for new features in clients' e-commerce stores
  • Performing manual testing across browsers and devices (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Writing and maintaining automated tests (UI and API)
  • Reporting, tracking, and verifying bugs using Jira (or similar tools)
  • Participating in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives
  • Helping maintain testing documentation, regression checklists, and automation suites
  • Gradually expanding into exploratory testing, CI integration, and performance testing as you grow


Requirements

  • Genuine interest in IT, e-commerce, or quality assurance
  • Basic programming knowledge in at least one language (PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python) — you should be comfortable reading code and writing simple scripts
  • Familiarity with how websites work: HTML, CSS, and a basic understanding of HTTP requests/responses
  • Exposure to (or willingness to quickly learn) a test automation framework such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or similar
  • Basic knowledge of Git (clone, branch, commit, pull request)
  • Sharp attention to detail and a curious "what happens if I click this?" mindset
  • Structured thinking and clear written communication
  • English is a must
  • Comfortable working in a team and asking questions
  • Motivated, proactive, and willing to take ownership of your tasks

Nice to Have (not required)

  • Experience with API testing tools (Postman, Insomnia)
  • Familiarity with browser DevTools for debugging
  • Any project, university course, or personal experiment involving automated tests
  • Basic knowledge of SQL or working with databases


Benefits

  • A clear path to a full-time QA Automation position after 6 months based on performance
  • Official Shopware certification
  • Hands-on experience across the entire digital product lifecycle, including modern automation tools
  • Real ownership: your ideas and initiatives are valued from day one
