  • Participating in agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, bug bashes, and QA campaigns alongside development teams to ensure smooth product releases.

Throughout the internship, you will be assigned a QA mentor who will guide you through the entire lifecycle of testing in a SaaS AI environment, helping you learn and grow while contributing to real-world projects.
