Company Description
KaaryaConnect (Kandala Tech Solutions LLP) is building a provider-first services marketplace that connects customers with trusted local professionals - including priests, photographers, caterers, event support, technicians, and more. We are an early-stage startup focused on building robust, scalable, and user-friendly web and mobile apps for the Indian market, with a strong emphasis on reliability, quality, and real-world impact.
Role Summary
We are looking for high-ownership, voluntary interns to join us as:
- Test Engineer Intern (QA - Web / Mobile)
- Full Stack Developer Intern
- Call Center Associate
This is a voluntary, unpaid internship designed for final-year students and recent graduates who want real startup experience, hands-on learning, and strong portfolio projects rather than classroom-only exposure.
You will work closely with the founding and engineering team to build, test, and improve production features used by real users.
- Internship Type: Voluntary, Unpaid
- Duration: 2 - 3 months (extendable based on performance)
- Location: Remote (with flexibility for occasional in-person meets if in/near Hyderabad)
- Time Commitment: 15-20 hours per week, flexible around college schedules
Role Description
You will be part of a small, fast-paced team working on KaaryaConnect's core web and mobile platforms.
We have two tracks - you can apply to either one:
- Test Engineer Intern (QA) - focus on testing, quality, and stability
- Full Stack Developer Intern - focus on building features end-to-end
You will get structured tasks, regular feedback, and exposure to how a real product roadmap is executed in a startup environment.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
A. Test Engineer Intern (QA)
- Execute manual testing for web and mobile app features before every release.
- Write clear test cases, test scenarios, and test reports for new and existing features.
- Perform functional, UI, regression, and basic usability testing across different devices/browsers.
- Validate APIs and responses using tools like Postman (or similar tools as guided).
- Log issues/bugs with steps to reproduce, screenshots, and short recordings where relevant.
- Re-test fixed issues, update test logs, and help maintain a clean, ready-for-release build.
- Collaborate with developers and product owners to clarify requirements and edge cases.
B. Full Stack Developer Intern
- Implement frontend features using modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React or similar).
- Work on backend APIs (Node.js / Express or equivalent) for core product features.
- Integrate REST APIs, handle form flows, validations, and basic authentication logic.
- Work with databases (e.g., MongoDB / PostgreSQL / MySQL) for CRUD operations and simple queries.
- Convert Figma screens / UI designs into responsive, clean, production-aligned user interfaces.
- Use Git / GitHub for version control, code reviews, and collaborative development.
- Fix bugs, optimize existing features, and participate in feature planning and breakdown.
Common for both tracks:
- Attend short stand-ups or sync calls as scheduled.
- Provide regular updates on tasks, timelines, and blockers.
- Document work clearly so it can be reused, scaled, or handed over.
Qualifications
Must-have (for both tracks):
- Education:
- Final-year student or recent graduate in B.Tech / B.E / BSc (CS/IT), MCA, or related fields.
- Core skills:
- Strong understanding of basic programming concepts (loops, functions, APIs, data structures).
- Ability to communicate clearly in English (written and verbal).
- A laptop and stable internet connection.
- Work style:
- Reliable, structured, and comfortable working in a startup, ambiguity-heavy environment.
- Willing to learn, accept feedback, and iterate quickly.
Role-specific must-haves:
- Test Engineer Intern:
- Basic understanding of how web and mobile apps work (navigation, forms, flows).
- Strong attention to detail and patience to test the same feature in multiple ways.
- Full Stack Developer Intern:
- Comfortable with at least one frontend framework (e.g., React) or strong willingness to learn fast.
- Basic understanding of REST APIs, request/response, and JSON.
- Familiarity with Git / GitHub workflows (clone, commit, push, pull request).
