QA Automation Intern

We are looking for an aspiring Software Engineer or QA Specialist to join us for a 4-to-8 month internship. In this role, you will be our "Bug Hunter in Chief." You will work directly with our Senior Engineers to ensure our AI-powered platform is robust, reliable, and bug-free. This is a unique opportunity to learn how to transition from manual testing to writing scalable automated test scripts in a production environment using modern tools like TypeScript and Playwright/Cypress.

Who We Are

At Glowtify, we strive to be the best in the world at building marketing strategies that accelerate e-commerce growth. Our web-based platform seamlessly syncs with merchants’ marketing channels. It offers a panoramic view of their entire marketing landscape, from product launches to promotions and audience targeting, while distilling rich data into actionable insights. Think of Glowtify as an AI-powered co-pilot helping to guide merchants through the complexities of e-commerce.

Eligibility Requirements

Student Status: You must be currently enrolled in a post-secondary program (Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar) and returning to school after the internship.
Work Authorization: You must be legally authorized to work in Canada for the duration of the internship.

Daily Responsibilities

Learn the Platform: Gain a deep understanding of our product by performing manual testing on new features and UI improvements.
Automate Everything: Assist in writing and maintaining end-to-end (E2E) automated tests to catch regressions before they hit production.
Document Defects: Report bugs with clear, concise steps to reproduce to help our developers fix issues faster.
Collaborate: Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and code reviews while soaking up knowledge from our Senior Technical Leaders.
Release Quality: Act as the final checkpoint for quality before we deploy updates to our users.

You Will Thrive in This Role if You Have

Strong fundamental knowledge of programming. We use TypeScript, but proficiency in JavaScript, Java, or Python is a great start.
A "detective" mindset where you enjoy figuring out how things work and, more importantly, how to break them.
Basic familiarity with web technologies (HTML, CSS, DOM manipulation).
Excellent written communication skills, as your bug reports need to be clear and readable.
The ability to work onsite at our Old Montreal office at least 2 days a week.
Fluency in English (conversational French is a plus).

Candidates with an Edge Will Have

Previous internship experience in web development or QA.
Exposure to automated testing frameworks (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, or Jest).
Experience with Git/GitHub for version control.
An interest in E-commerce (Shopify) or Generative AI.
