QA Intern – Manual & API Testing

Company: TOCH (Kotlin Multiplatform Chat App)

Experience: Fresher / Intern (0–6 Months)

Location: Hyderabad, India (In-Office)

Employment Type: Internship (3–6 Months, with potential for full-time conversion)

About TOCH

TOCH is a cross-platform encrypted chat application built with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), targeting Android, iOS, and Desktop. We use the Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption, WebSocket-based real-time messaging, WebRTC calls, and a Go microservices backend. Join us to kickstart your QA career on a product that handles real-time communication and solid cryptography.

Role Overview

We're looking for a motivated QA Intern eager to learn manual and API testing in a fast-paced, real-world product environment. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, learning how to test a multi-platform chat app from the ground up — covering messaging, calls, encryption, media, and more. This is a hands-on role: you'll file real bugs, run real test cases, and see your work ship to production.

What You'll Do

✅ Execute manual test cases for chat, calling, media sharing, and notification features on Android and iOS devices

✅ Learn and perform API testing using Postman or similar tools — send requests, validate responses, and check error handling

✅ Test WebSocket-based real-time events (message delivery, typing indicators, online status)

✅ Verify app behavior across different network conditions (offline, slow network, reconnection)

✅ Log detailed bug reports with clear reproduction steps, screenshots, and device/OS details





✅ Help maintain and update the regression test suite as new features are added

✅ Participate in daily standups and sprint ceremonies with the engineering team

✅ Assist in exploratory testing before releases to catch edge cases

What We're Looking For

? Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field

? Basic understanding of software testing concepts (test cases, bug lifecycle, regression testing)

? Familiarity with REST APIs — understanding of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), status codes, and JSON payloads

? Exposure to API testing tools like Postman (even from coursework or personal projects)

? Ability to use Android and iOS devices for testing (installing builds, capturing logs)

? Eagerness to learn, ask questions, and take ownership of assigned tasks

? Good written communication skills for documenting bugs and test results

Bonus Points

➕ Personal projects or coursework involving mobile app testing

➕ Basic knowledge of databases (SQL queries for data verification)

➕ Awareness of messaging app features (chat, calls, media, encryption)

➕ Familiarity with version control (Git basics)





➕ Any exposure to WebSocket or real-time application concepts

➕ ISTQB Foundation Level certification or equivalent coursework

What You'll Learn

? How to test a production-grade multi-platform app (Android, iOS, Desktop)

? API testing methodologies — REST endpoints, WebSocket events, authentication flows

? End-to-end encryption testing — how to verify encrypted messaging without breaking protocol invariants

? Real-time communication testing — WebRTC calls, live location, push notifications

? Bug lifecycle management with professional tooling

? Agile/Scrum workflows and cross-functional collaboration

Tech Stack You'll Be Exposed To

? Platforms: Android (Jetpack Compose), iOS (SwiftUI), Desktop (Compose Multiplatform)

⚙️ Backend: Go microservices, REST APIs, WebSocket

?️ Database: SQLDelight (cross-platform SQLite)

? Encryption: Signal Protocol (X3DH, Double Ratchet, Sender Key)

?️ Tools: Postman, Git, Jira/Linear, Android Studio, Xcode

Why Intern With Us?

? Real product impact — your testing protects actual user conversations and privacy

? Mentorship from senior engineers working on cryptography, real-time systems, and cross-platform development

? Path to full-time conversion based on performance

? Build a strong QA portfolio with experience in a security-critical, multi-platform product
