## Automation Quality Engineering Intern @ Ironclad

As an Automation Quality Engineering Intern at Ironclad, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our cutting-edge AI contracting platform. You’ll gain hands-on experience by writing end-to-end (e2e) tests and building tooling and automations to rigorously test our product.

You’ll have the opportunity to embed in a cross-functional team, collaborating closely with engineering, product, and design to identify and test the most vital functions in our application. This experience will provide valuable insights into the full software delivery lifecycle.

You’ll help test software built on a modern stack that includes technologies like TypeScript, React, Node.js, Java, and Docker containers in Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform. While experience with these specific technologies is a plus, it is not required; we are keen for you to learn on the job!

We foster a highly collaborative environment and strive to maintain a positive, inclusive culture where interns ship real product and receive meaningful mentorship, avoiding busy work.

## What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and ship automated tests as an integral part of a cross-functional product team (engineering, product, design, QE).
• Collaborate with mentors and teammates to break down ambiguous problems into clear, scoped projects that you can execute on during your internship.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code in TypeScript, actively participating in code reviews to both give and receive feedback.
• Learn how to scale and maintain a reliable test suite that empowers developers to deliver with quality and velocity.
• Build tooling and expand automation frameworks to enable efficiencies within product teams, making automated tests as self-serve as possible.
• Partner with product and design to understand user needs, test hypotheses, and iterate quickly on solutions that create real value for legal, sales, and operations teams.
• Contribute to team culture, documentation, and best practices so that future interns and engineers can build upon your contributions.

## Who You Are

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and driven individual who meets the following criteria:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or equivalent degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, with an expected graduation date after the internship term.
• Curious about software quality, test automation, and reliability, and interested in how automation helps teams ship with confidence.
• Possess foundational knowledge in computer science and software engineering, including data structures, algorithms, and basic systems or web concepts (gained from coursework, personal projects, or prior experience).
• Comfortable programming in JavaScript/TypeScript and eager to learn our full technology stack on the job.
• Have demonstrated experience through projects, internships, hackathons, or open-source contributions where you shipped something real and iterated based on feedback.
• Exhibit strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action — you can break down ambiguous problems, ask thoughtful questions, and move ideas forward collaboratively.
• A clear, kind communicator who enjoys working in cross-functional teams and can explain technical concepts to non-technical partners when needed.
• Excited to learn about contracts, legal workflows, and AI-powered productivity tools, even if you don’t have prior domain experience.
• Embody Ironclad’s values of drive, intent, integrity, and empathy in how you work and collaborate.
