About Our Client — Toorak Capital Partners

You will be part of a dedicated engineering team supporting Toorak Capital Partners, a leading U.S.-based integrated correspondent lending platform.

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. You will gain hands-on experience in UI + API automation, validating complex financial workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Design test scenarios and validation strategies aligned with real business workflows.
• Build and maintain automation frameworks and scripts using Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript).
• 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.
• Debug failures using browser dev tools, logs, network tracing, and API inspection.
• 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.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Core (Must-Have)
• Strong fundamentals in software testing (SDLC, STLC, test design techniques).
• Programming basics in JavaScript (mandatory).
• Understanding of web application architecture (frontend ↔ backend ↔ APIs).
• Clear grasp of HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, request/response lifecycle.
• Automation & Tools
• 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.
• APIs & Integration Testing
• API testing using Postman / REST clients.
• Understanding of:
• Request types (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
• JSON payload validation.
• Authentication basics.
• DevOps & Version Control
• Basic experience with Git (commit, branch, PR workflows).
• Awareness of CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
• Data & System Understanding
• Basic knowledge of databases (SQL queries, data validation).
• Understanding of client-server architecture and data flow across systems.
• Observability & Debugging
• Ability to debug using:
• Browser DevTools.
• Network logs.
• Console errors.
• Awareness of logs and basic troubleshooting techniques.

Qualifications

• Final-year student or recent graduate in Computer Science / IT or related field.
• Must demonstrate:
• 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.
• A minimum of 1 years of hands-on experience in both Playwright and JavaScript is mandatory.

What Makes a Strong Fit

• Built automation scripts/projects independently (Playwright/Cypress/Selenium).
• Demonstrates logical thinking and debugging ability.
• Understands end-to-end system flow.
• Shows curiosity about how systems fail, how to improve test reliability, and how to reduce defects proactively.
• Has GitHub projects showcasing code quality and structure.
• Strong ownership mindset.

What You Will Gain

• Real-world exposure to FinTech mortgage platforms.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright + JavaScript automation.
• Understanding of UI + API integrated testing strategies.
