SDET Intern

Let's start with who we are:

Interviews can be hard. And when it comes to the top tech companies like Google, Facebook,

Netflix, etc., they can be downright brutal. Most candidates don't make it simply because they

don't prepare well enough. IK helps candidates nail the toughest tech interviews. At IK, current

and former hiring managers at these top companies take candidates through an intense prep

course to prepare them to crack the toughest Technical interviews. You could think of us as the

everything store for career transitions and interview skill development.

How do we do that, you ask

• We have a structured way of helping folks crack interviews-
• Career accelerator course
• End-to-end courses platform
• More than 650 instructors from Google, FB, Amazon, Netflix, Dropbox, and other top
• Silicon Valley companies.
• And, to date, we have trained 27000+ engineers!
• What's more exciting is that we are completely remote and hiring the best people we can find regardless of geo.

Sounds interesting Then here's some more information about the role

testing approaches, under the guidance of experienced engineers.

• Interest in building reusable, scalable test frameworks rather than writing isolated
• scripts.
• Curiosity about an AI-first approach to automation testing (test case generation,
• self-healing tests, AI-driven validation).
• Some exposure to automation testing (coursework, personal projects, or prior
• internships) with a strong engineering mindset.
• Familiarity with, or eagerness to learn, Playwright for end-to-end testing.
• Willingness to take on manual testing tasks as needed.
• Good debugging and online searching skills.
• Good communication skills.
• Good problem-solving skills.

• Supporting an AI-first testing strategy by helping integrate AI-driven solutions into the QA process.
• Learning and contributing to Playwright-based automation across web applications (Python/Django + JavaScript/NextJS).
• Performing manual testing where required (e.g., exploratory testing, edge cases, orquick validation), while gradually taking on more automation work.
• Helping build and maintain CI/CD-integrated test systems to ensure continuous, reliable test coverage.
• Helping identify gaps, bottlenecks, and risks in automation pipelines under the guidanceof senior engineers.
• Learning best practices for test reliability, maintainability, and scalability by focusing on frameworks, not one-off scripts.
