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.

• Design test scenarios and validation strategies aligned with real business workflows (loan lifecycle, underwriting decisions, document pipelines)


• 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)


• 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

Core (Must-Have – Depth Expected)

• Strong fundamentals in software testing (SDLC, STLC, test design techniques)


• Understanding of web application architecture (frontend backend APIs)


• Clear grasp of HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, request/response lifecycle


• 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


• API testing using Postman / REST clients


• Understanding of:


• Request types (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)


• JSON payload validation


• 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


• Basic knowledge of databases (SQL queries, data validation)


• Understanding of client-server architecture and data flow across systems

Observability & Debugging

• Ability to debug using:


• Network logs


• Awareness of logs and basic troubleshooting techniques


• Final-year student or recent graduate in Computer Science / IT or related field


• 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


• 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

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.

High Importance:

We are considering only Immediate Joiners or candidates who are currently serving their notice period with 15 days or less remaining

Experience: 0–1 Year
