Software Quality Assurance Engineer - Intern

SilentiumIT Colombo • Internship

Who You Could Be :

Someone passionate about building reliable, high-quality software and eager to learn modern QA engineering practices.
A detail-oriented problem solver who enjoys breaking things in order to make them better.
A strong communicator who can clearly articulate issues, expected behavior, and edge-case scenarios.
A fast learner who wants to understand both the functional behaviour and the business domain (e.g., travel workflows, booking flows, payments, user journeys).

What We’re Looking For :

Basic understanding of software testing principles (unit, integration, system, regression testing).
Familiarity with test automation concepts and at least one automation tool or framework (e.g. Selenium, Cypress, JUnit, TestNG, Postman, etc).
Familiarity with simple automated scripts in JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, or Python.
Understanding of REST APIs, JSON payloads, and how to validate backend responses.
Knowledge of version control systems (Git) and comfort working in an agile team.
Interest in understanding the travel domain - user flows such as search, booking, itinerary planning, recommendations, and payments.
Ability to analyse requirements, identify edge cases, and propose meaningful test scenarios.
Curiosity to understand how features work end-to-end to ensure both functionality and user experience.
Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) or CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
Familiarity with using tools like JMeter for basic performance testing.
Understanding of defect workflows and tools like Jira, ClickUp, Github issues or similar.

What You'll Do :

Design, document, and execute test cases for web and backend features across the travel product ecosystem.
Build and run automated test suites for UI, API, and integration layers using modern automation frameworks.
Validate functional behaviour, identify defects, and collaborate closely with developers to ensure quick resolution.
Test features from a domain perspective, ensuring travel-related scenarios (search, booking, itinerary, recommendations) work as intended.
Participate in regular meetings, contribute to QA discussions, and help improve quality processes.
Assist in setting up test data, verifying deployments, and supporting continuous testing pipelines.
Work with senior other team members to learn best practices in automation strategy, test design, and quality engineering.
Continuously explore new tools, techniques, and approaches to improve efficiency and coverage.
