Quality Assurance Test Intern

Virtual Peaker is looking for a QA Test Intern that will help solve the climate crisis by supporting our mission of building the utility of the future. The intermittent nature of wind and solar energy makes it much harder for electric utilities to keep the grid in balance. Renewable energy is going to save humanity, and Virtual Peaker is part of the solution.

Our approach to internship

• Full integration with the QA Engineer team: make real contributions to testing our products; participate in the test process and team meetings
• Mentoring: one-on-one support
• Incrementalism: start with using our applications and learning about the test processes; progress to pair testing with an experienced QA Engineer; gradually increase the breadth and complexity of the testing tasks

Requirements

• Ability to think critically, design experiments to discover software behaviors and document your findings
• Demonstrable technical aptitude towards understanding how things work (eg: prior work experience, software/webpage projects, course work, etc.)
• A strong desire to learn new skills and contribute to a team’s goals

The Virtual Peaker QA Engineer team uses automation tools Playwright and Typescript for regression testing. Candidates need not be familiar with these tools but should have an ambition to learn how to code automated tests.

Interested?

Virtual Peaker is currently a small remote-first team tackling huge problems, and that means that everyone, from the interns on up, are critically important to our mission. If you want to be a bit player on a huge team thinking about micro-optimizations, this role is definitely not for you. If you want to take responsibility for changing the outcome of human civilization, we want to hear from you.
