Techdome QA engineer internship 2026 in Hyderabad and Indore
The Techdome QA engineer internship runs for six months or more, based in Hyderabad or Indore. The listing marks it as full-time. Interns work on test automation, API testing and performance testing on Techdome's own frameworks. You work on real products from the first day, with mentors from the team.
Techdome was founded in 2020. It builds products for clients from scratch, scales existing ones, and runs products of its own. Those are Sparrow for API testing, Catalyst AI for ERP, Saral Funding in fintech, and JustInterview.ai for AI-based hiring. Its client work covers fintech, insurance, healthcare, pet hospitality and manufacturing.
Six months on live products
The JD frames this Techdome QA engineer internship around depth. The company says it would sooner hire a sharp mind and teach the skills than hire a strong resume. The term is spent on three kinds of testing. The first is UI automation with Playwright and Selenium, taken to an advanced level. The second is API automation. The third is performance and load testing. All of it happens on Techdome's frameworks, with mentoring and early ownership of real work.
If these terms are new, here is what each one means in practice. UI automation is a script that clicks through an app the way a user would, then checks what appears on screen. API automation skips the screen. The test calls the backend directly and checks the response it gets back. Performance and load testing sends many requests at once to see how fast the system answers and where it starts to slow down. A QA intern who can do all three can test a product from the screen down to the server.
The Techdome QA engineer internship lasts six months or more. The listing offers a stipend it calls competitive, but it gives no amount. Strong performers have a clear path to a full-time SDET role. SDET stands for software development engineer in test. An SDET is a developer who builds and maintains automated tests.
The must-have list
- Hands-on QA automation basics. You should have written automated tests in Playwright or Selenium, through an internship, a project or coursework, and be able to show the code.
- Solid programming basics in JavaScript, Java or Python.
- Daily use of AI tools, especially Claude, to code, learn and solve problems. The JD adds that you should check what the tool gives you before you use it.
- Fast learning. You pick up new tools and ideas quickly and reason from first principles.
- Strong problem solving and clear communication.
The JD also lists three nice-to-haves:
- Exposure to API testing with Postman or REST, or to any performance or load testing.
- A GitHub repo or portfolio that shows your automation work.
- An internship or academic project in testing or development.
The JD names no degree, batch or branch, so the listing does not rule anyone out by degree. Students and graduates who meet the must-haves can apply. Browse more engineering internships and jobs, roles for BCA and B.Sc students and openings for MCA students.
Building a test portfolio before you apply
The first must-have asks you to show code. For the Techdome QA engineer internship, a small public test project says more than a list of courses. Here is a plan built only from the tools the JD names.
- Pick a public demo web app. Write five to ten Playwright tests for login, search and a form. Then cover the same flows in Selenium, so you can talk about both tools.
- Write the tests in whichever of JavaScript, Java or Python you know best. Keep them in a GitHub repo with a short README that explains how to run them.
- Add an API test folder. Use Postman to check status codes and response fields on a public REST API.
- Run one small load test against an API you are allowed to test. Note the response times you saw and what changed as the load went up.
- Keep a short note on where an AI tool helped you and where you had to fix its output. The JD asks for exactly that kind of judgement.
In an interview, be ready to open the repo and explain one test line by line. Say what it checks, why it might fail, and how you would make it less flaky.
