This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility. QA engineers at Tabby are responsible for product quality across multiple systems and platforms. This includes testing user-facing applications, backend services, APIs, integrations, and internal tools. QA at Tabby is engineering-driven and focused on reliability, automation, and system-level quality. The internship is designed for strong early‑career engineers who want to grow as quality engineers, not manual testers only. Interns are embedded into real teams, work with production systems, and are expected to think system-wide about quality.

Key Responsibilities

Participate in end-to-end testing of product features and system integrations

Perform manual testing where it makes sense and automate everything that should be automated

Contribute to automated test suites (API, integration, end-to-end)

Help maintain and extend existing test frameworks and test data

Validate interactions between services, clients, and external systems

Participate in release testing and regression cycles

Analyze bugs, verify fixes, and contribute to root-cause analysis

Work closely with engineers and product managers to improve testability

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Knowledge of at least one programming language (Go preferred)

Familiarity with fundamental data structures and algorithms

Understanding of deterministic vs. state-dependent behavior in programs

Basic knowledge of SQL

Understanding of unit testing concepts and principles

Basic understanding of client–server architecture and familiarity with g RPC or RESTful API-based systems

Ability to read, understand, and analyze existing code

Comfortable with cross-team collaboration and networking

Comfortable working in POSIX/Unix-like environments

Hands-on experience writing unit tests (any language or framework)

Familiarity with testing frameworks (e.g., Go testing package, JUnit, pytest)

Understanding of mocking and stubbing techniques

Mastery of all listed frameworks, tools, or CI/CD systems

Deep knowledge of networking, cloud, or container orchestration

Saudi nationals only

Self-funded internship by Tabby

We welcome both current students and fresh grads

We expect a full-time level of engagement throughout the internship. The program is not part-time: interns should be ready to contribute at a full working-day pace. We understand that students may occasionally need flexibility for classes or exams, which can be aligned with the mentor in advance, but overall performance, ownership, and context involvement are expected at a full-time level.

Format

Paid internship

Full integration into an engineering team

Distributed engineering team across multiple countries

Open to Saudi nationals (Saudi passport required); location flexible — candidates may be based outside KSA

Office-first in Riyadh where possible

Clear path to a junior QA engineer role based on performance

This internship is intentionally demanding and designed for candidates aiming for fast professional growth in quality engineering.
