Software Engineering Intern- Test Automation (Spring 2026)
About The Position
Digs is building the future of collaboration between builders and homeowners. Our platform uses artificial intelligence to organize, surface, and share the information that matters most during a home build—making the entire experience more transparent, connected, and intuitive. We’re a team of experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and builders who care deeply about craft. We move fast, think long-term, and hold a high bar for what we build. If you’re curious, motivated, and excited about creating meaningful technology from the ground up, you’ll fit right in. At Digs, you won't be working on throwaway sandbox projects. We expect you to hit the ground running and ship real production code from day one. This is a greenfield opportunity: we have a solid foundation in place but no dedicated QA team, so you'll have real autonomy to shape how testing works at Digs. Your primary focus will be on test automation, but you'll also contribute across the full stack. Want to know what drives us? Explore our Digs Principles.
Requirements
- You recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field (or have equivalent practical experience) and are looking for a runway to transition into a full-time role.
- You are passionate about software quality and find satisfaction in catching bugs before users do.
- You have coursework or project experience writing automated tests of any kind — unit, integration, or end-to-end.
- You think critically about how software can break, not just how it should work, and naturally consider edge cases, race conditions, and failure modes.
- You are a self-starter who is comfortable charting your own path — this role won't have a QA manager handing your test plans, so you'll need to identify what to test and how.
- You are a highly collaborative, self-motivated communicator who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership of your work without waiting for instructions, and isn't afraid to say "I don't know yet" while moving fast.
- You are comfortable participating in virtual meetings and in-person collaboration at our Vancouver, WA HQ
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or other end-to-end testing frameworks.
- Experience with React, TypeScript, or Node.js in a project or coursework setting.
- Interest in or exposure to AI-powered testing tools and agentic test automation.
- Startup experience: proven ability to move fast on a small engineering team.
- Experience or interest in the home building, home remodeling, construction, or real estate industries.
Responsibilities
- Write and maintain end-to-end tests using Playwright, covering critical user workflows across desktop and mobile.
- Expand test coverage into untested areas — new features, edge cases, error scenarios, and multi-user workflows.
- Build and maintain Page Object Models, test fixtures, and reusable test utilities that make it easy for the rest of the team to write reliable tests.
- Monitor and reduce test flakiness, improving the signal-to-noise ratio in our CI pipeline.
- Improve test data management — building factories, seeders, and isolation patterns that keep tests fast and reliable.
- Adopt and help shape our agentic coding practices — our team embraces tools like Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code to accelerate development.
