QA Automation Engineering Intern at Moon in Glendale, CA

Summary: Moon is an ambitious SaaS company dedicated to transforming the entrepreneurial experience through innovative solutions. As a QA Automation Engineering Intern, you will build automated test coverage and CI/CD test gates for both frontend and backend systems, ensuring high-quality standards across the engineering team. Responsibilities: - Build automated test coverage for the frontend (React/Capacitor components) and backend (.NET API endpoints) - Establish or extend CI/CD test gates — define and enforce requirements that prevent untested code from merging - Create and maintain a regression test suite for core application flows - Work with each engineering track to identify coverage gaps and close them systematically — you’re the connective tissue across the full stack - Document testing standards and coverage expectations for the team so the bar is clear and repeatable - Use AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) to accelerate test generation — writing tests faster, with better coverage, at scale - Evaluate AI-generated test output critically — coverage that looks good but doesn’t catch real failures are worse than no coverage Required Qualifications: - JavaScript/TypeScript or C# — coverage needs span both the frontend and backend stacks; you don't need both on day one, but you need to be credible in at least one - Experience with at least one testing framework: Jest, Playwright, Cypress, xUnit, NUnit, pytest, or similar - Understanding of CI/CD concepts: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or equivalent - Active AI tool usage — and specifically, genuine interest in how AI can accelerate test generation and coverage maintenance. This is evaluated explicitly - You treat test code with the same rigour as production code — not as an afterthought Preferred Qualifications: - Playwright or Cypress for frontend end-to-end testing - xUnit or NUnit for .NET backend testing - pytest for Python pipeline testing - Experience writing tests for REST APIs - Exposure to coverage tooling and reporting Required Skills: JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, Testing frameworks, Jest, Playwright, Cypress, xUnit, NUnit, pytest, CI/CD concepts, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, AI-assisted test generation, REST API testing, Interest in AI tool usage for test generation Benefits: Direct mentorship from the Sr. Engineering Manager — plus cross-track exposure to frontend, backend, and data engineering teams throughout the program., AI tooling stipend (Cursor Pro, Claude Pro, or equivalent) — the AI-native expectation is real; we remove the financial barrier to getting there., Priority consideration for full-time roles upon graduation.
