Role Overview

We are hiring a high-potential QA Automation Intern to contribute to quality engineering for enterprise-grade mortgage and lending platforms. This role is designed for candidates who want to evolve into SDET / QA Automation Engineers by working on real production systems, not academic projects.

You will gain hands-on experience in UI + API automation, validating complex financial workflows such as loan origination, underwriting, document processing, and servicing systems. The role demands a strong engineering mindset, attention to detail, and the ability to understand end-to-end system behavior.

🔹 Key Responsibilities

Design test scenarios and validation strategies aligned with real business workflows (loan lifecycle, underwriting decisions, document pipelines)
Build and maintain automation frameworks and scripts using Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript)
Automate end-to-end workflows including UI interactions + backend API validations
Execute and maintain regression, smoke, and functional test suites integrated with CI pipelines
Validate REST APIs using structured assertions (status codes, payload validation, schema checks)
Debug failures using browser dev tools, logs, network tracing, and API inspection
Identify, document, and track defects with clear reproducible steps and impact analysis
Collaborate with developers, QA engineers, and DevOps teams to prevent defects early (shift-left testing)
Contribute to test data strategy, reusable utilities, and framework improvements
Participate actively in Agile ceremonies with a focus on quality ownership, not just execution

🔹 Technical Skills

✅ Core (Must-Have – Depth Expected)

Strong fundamentals in software testing (SDLC, STLC, test design techniques)
Programming basics in JavaScript (mandatory) — ability to write logical scripts (not just syntax familiarity)
Understanding of web application architecture (frontend ↔ backend ↔ APIs)
Clear grasp of HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, request/response lifecycle

☁️ Automation & Tools

Hands-on or academic exposure to Playwright (preferred) / Cypress / Selenium
Ability to understand selectors, waits, DOM interactions, and test stability issues
Familiarity with test structuring, assertions, and modular test design

🔗 APIs & Integration Testing

API testing using Postman / REST clients
Understanding of:
Request types (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
JSON payload validation
Authentication basics

⚙️ DevOps & Version Control

Basic experience with Git (commit, branch, PR workflows)
Awareness of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
Understanding of how automation fits into build and deployment cycles

🗄️ Data & System Understanding

Basic knowledge of databases (SQL queries, data validation)
Understanding of client-server architecture and data flow across systems

📊 Observability & Debugging

Ability to debug using:
Browser DevTools
Network logs
Console errors
Awareness of logs and basic troubleshooting techniques

🔹 Experience Requirements

Final-year student or recent graduate in Computer Science / IT or related field
Must demonstrate:
Hands-on projects, internships, or GitHub work related to testing or automation
Ability to write basic scripts and understand execution flow
Exposure to real-world or simulated project environments is strongly preferred

🔹 What Makes a Strong Fit (High-Quality Signals)

Built automation scripts/projects independently (Playwright/Cypress/Selenium)
Demonstrates logical thinking and debugging ability, not just tool usage
Understands end-to-end system flow, not just UI testing
Shows curiosity about:
How systems fail
How to improve test reliability
How to reduce defects proactively
Has GitHub/projects showcasing code quality and structure
Strong ownership mindset — takes responsibility for test quality, not just execution

🔹 What You Will Gain

Real-world exposure to FinTech mortgage platforms used in production
Hands-on experience with Playwright + JavaScript automation at scale
Understanding of UI + API integrated testing strategies
Exposure to CI/CD-driven quality engineering practices
Mentorship from experienced QA and engineering leaders
Strong pathway into QA Automation Engineer / SDET roles
Potential full-time conversion based on performance

🔹 Why Join FinacPlus

🌟 Great Place to Work® Certified — high-performance, collaborative culture
🌍 Work on global financial platforms (US & UK markets)
🤝 Exposure to cross-functional product, engineering, and DevOps teams
⚖️ Hybrid work model with strong work-life balance
📈 Fast-track learning environment with real ownership
💡 Opportunity to contribute to enterprise-grade systems with real business impact

🔹 Final Note

This is not a passive internship.

We are looking for candidates who want to build engineering depth in quality automation, not just execute test cases.

If you’re serious about becoming a top-tier QA Automation Engineer / SDET, this role will give you the foundation.
