Quality Assurance Intern
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 10, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 19, 2026. Whitecloak scores B on the Alion truth index.
About the role
White Cloak builds and rescues software for clients across many industries. Our delivery teams move fast, and quality is what lets them move fast safely. As a QA Intern, you will join a live delivery team and help make sure what we ship works the way our clients expect. You will test real products, write real tickets, and learn how professional software teams find, track, and prevent defects.
This is not a shadowing role. You will own work from your first sprint, with a mentor beside you.
What you will do
Run manual and automated tests on web and mobile applications, and report results clearly to the team.
Write and maintain automated test scripts under the guidance of senior QA engineers.
File bug reports that a developer can act on without asking follow-up questions: steps to reproduce, expected result, actual result, severity, and evidence.
Help maintain our Known Error Database (KEDB), the record of issues we already understand and how to work around them, so the team stops solving the same problem twice.
Help scope tickets with the team by breaking features into testable pieces, writing acceptance criteria, and flagging gaps before development starts.
Take part in sprint ceremonies such as planning, standups, and retrospectives.
Retest fixes and confirm that a fix in one area has not broken another.
What we are looking for
- A student or recent graduate in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or a related field.
Familiarity with at least one automated testing tool or framework, such as Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or Appium.
- Coursework or personal projects count.
- An understanding of how bugs are reported and tracked, ideally with exposure to a tool like Jira, Linear, or similar.
Awareness of what a known error database is and why teams keep one.
- Some experience breaking a feature or requirement into smaller tasks or test cases.
- A sharp eye for detail and the patience to try the same thing ten different ways.
- Clear written English. Much of QA is writing things down so someone else can act on them.
Nice to have:
- Basic knowledge of a scripting language such as JavaScript or Python.
- Exposure to API testing with tools like Postman.
- Familiarity with Agile or Scrum ways of working.
Curiosity about how AI tools can speed up testing.
What you get:
- Real project experience on client engagements, not practice exercises.
- Mentorship from experienced QA engineers and delivery leads.
- Exposure to how a software services company plans, builds, and recovers projects.
