Manual QA Tester Intern

Job Summary

Arcitech AI is looking for a Manual QA Tester Intern to join our Quality Assurance team. You will work under the guidance of our senior QA engineers, testing real features on real products - not sample apps. Strong performers over the 3-month term will be considered for a full-time Manual QA Tester role. You should already understand core manual testing concepts and, ideally, have tested something real - even a personal or college project, or a structured bug-bounty-style exercise. We will train you on our tools, standards, and process; we expect the testing mindset already in place. Prior project experience (academic, personal, freelance, hackathon, or open-source) directly relevant to this role is required to be considered - we are not hiring purely on academic credentials with no applied work to show.

Responsibilities

• Design, review, and execute test cases and test scenarios for assigned features, under senior QA guidance.
• Perform functional, regression, sanity, and exploratory testing on real product features.
• Log defects clearly in our tracking tool (Jira/Zoho) with reproduction steps, expected vs. actual behavior, and evidence (screenshots/recordings).
• Get hands-on exposure to basic API testing using Postman.
• Learn to write and use basic SQL queries to validate data during testing.
• Follow the Bug Life Cycle for accurate defect reporting, tracking, and closure.
• Take ownership of test coverage for at least one feature or module end-to-end during the internship, as a basis for your conversion evaluation.

Qualifications

• Pursuing or completed a Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 0-1 years of professional experience - internships, coursework, and self-driven testing exercises all count.
• Mandatory: at least one instance of hands-on testing work you can walk us through - a college project you tested, a structured personal testing exercise, or a bug report youve written on a real application. Applications without a demonstrable example will not be considered.

Skills

• Understanding of core manual testing concepts - functional, regression, sanity, exploratory testing.
• Basic understanding of SDLC and STLC.
• Ability to write a clear, reproducible bug report.
• Some exposure to a bug-tracking tool (Jira, Zoho, or similar) or willingness to learn quickly.
• Basic SQL knowledge, or willingness to build it during the internship.
• Strong attention to detail and methodical thinking.
• Clear written and verbal communication for reporting issues.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to Postman or any REST API testing tool.
• Any exposure to basic performance or security testing concepts.
• Familiarity with Agile ceremonies.
