QA Automation Internship — Restaurant Software, Mobile & APIs

About the role

ZOVU is building a unified platform for restaurant operations, connecting POS, reservations, loyalty, staff planning, and customer experiences. The company is bootstrapped and has an MVP nearing completion. As the product prepares for restaurant launches, the internship will focus on making ZOVU dependable by investigating failures and building repeatable tests.

Responsibilities

• Test complete workflows such as ordering, checkout, refunds, stock changes, and kitchen updates.
• Write clear bug reports with reproduction steps, expected behavior, and supporting evidence.
• Develop API and browser automation, and contribute to Flutter integration tests.
• Test permissions, tenant isolation, retries, reconnects, and interrupted actions.
• Create test data and repeatable regression checks.
• Investigate flaky tests and distinguish product defects from test problems.
• Help the team prioritize defects by customer impact.

Requirements

• Practical software testing experience from work, study, or personal projects.
• Some programming ability in TypeScript/JavaScript, Dart, or another relevant language.
• Understanding of APIs, assertions, test cases, and reproducible failures.
• A careful, curious approach to investigating unexpected behavior.
• Clear written communication.
• Willingness to understand the product rather than test only individual screens.
• Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Flutter testing, API tools, or CI is useful (not required).

Success criteria

Success is measured by useful tests that catch meaningful failures, bug reports that developers can act on, and increased confidence in critical restaurant workflows.

Schedule

The internship lasts three months, targeting 32 hours per week. Work is remote and primarily asynchronous, with collaboration on test priorities and fixes alongside developers and product colleagues.
