Roles

• Visit 7codearena.com and access 7job to apply for this opportunity.
• Join 7CodeArena's engineering team as a Software Engineering Intern – Frontend and help ensure our real-time web platform performs reliably under heavy loads.
• You'll work closely with Core Engineering to test frontend experiences, validate REST APIs, identify bugs, verify fixes, and help build reliable testing workflows for real-time features such as WebSockets, data caching, and authentication flows.
• This role is ideal for someone who enjoys debugging, breaking things, finding edge cases, and improving product quality. We value practical skills, problem-solving ability, and portfolio work over fancy degrees.

Responsibility

• Test Real-Time Interfaces: Work with engineering to ensure dashboards and frontend experiences remain stable and responsive under heavy loads.
• API Testing: Test REST APIs for correct status codes, response times, authentication behavior, and accurate payload delivery.
• Bug Detection & Tracking: Identify, reproduce, document, and track software bugs and UI/UX inconsistencies.
• Regression Testing: Collaborate with Core Engineering to verify bug fixes and ensure existing functionality isn't affected by new changes.
• Frontend Validation: Test user flows across different browsers, screen sizes, and interaction states.
• Real-Time Testing: Help test WebSocket connections, live data updates, reconnection behavior, and real-time dashboard functionality.
• Caching & Auth Testing: Help map and test data-caching workflows, session handling, authentication loops, and protected routes.
• Test Automation: Assist in creating and improving automated tests using tools such as Playwright or similar frameworks.
• Quality Improvement: Work with developers to identify recurring issues and suggest practical improvements to product reliability.
