This is not a passive internship — you will be expected to learn fast, contribute fast, and deliver work that matters.

Execute automation pipelines, debug failures, and contribute actively to defect analysis. Collaborate with developers and QA leads to define test scope, coverage, and execution strategy. Contribute to CI/CD-based test execution workflows and reporting. Document frameworks, reusable utilities, and automation standards.

Pursuing or recently completed Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, IT, or related discipline. Hands-on exposure to Playwright (academic, project, or internship). Proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Basic understanding of REST APIs, DOM, selectors, and web testing. Familiarity with Git, agile workflows, and debugging basics. Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to take ownership.
Preferred Skills (Good To Have)
Experience with Selenium, Cypress, Puppeteer, or other automation frameworks. Exposure to CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.). Knowledge of reporting tools (Allure, Mochawesome, etc.). Comfort with Jira, TestRail, or any test management tool. Understanding of assertion libraries (Jest, Chai, Expect).
Work Culture at BlitzenX
BlitzenX operates on an employee-first mindset and prioritizes the career progression of every team member. We follow a 4.5-day work week, but that does not mean “less work” — it means smarter, sharper execution with no room for mediocrity.
We hire people who choose challenge over comfort, take ownership without excuses, and deliver results that matter. If you’re looking for an easy internship or slow-paced culture, this is not your place. If you want to work with ambitious teams, learn real-world automation, and operate at a high bar — you will thrive here.
