Quality Assurance Intern; Summer

About Bound

We believe an athletic director's job is one of the most critical in a community: to shape the lives and experiences of student-athletes. But as we listened, we learned that with dwindling budgets and growing responsibilities, they've had no choice but to spend more time managing logistics than leading their teams and programs. After countless conversations, we gained a deep understanding of their challenges, from handling transactions to managing schedules and tracking results.

This insight was the catalyst for Bound. We created an all-in-one platform to give ADs back their time. With our One Schedule Technology at its core, our platform integrates essential tools like Activity Registration, Tickets and Passes, and 20+ additional solutions. Today, Bound empowers schools across the country to manage every aspect of their athletics and activities, all within a single, unified solution.

We're not just a software company; we are a team made up of former athletic directors, administrators, coaches, parents, and fans. We all share one core belief: in the power of youth sports and activities to positively impact communities and the people who live in them.

At Bound, internships are a structured experience designed to give you real ownership, real mentorship, and a real project to point to when you're done.

• A Capstone Project - You will own a meaningful project from day one through the final presentation, giving you something substantial to show for your summer.
• Real Team Experience - Beyond your project, you will be embedded in your team's day-to-day work, gaining hands-on exposure to how Bound operates.
• Mentorship & Support - regular 1:1s with your supervisor and a buddy to help you navigate your summer.
• Connection - Intern events and opportunities to connect with the broader Bound team.
• Program dates - Summer 2027 internships run May 17 - August 6, 2027 (approximately 12 weeks).

A note on timing:
We’re recruiting for our Summer 2027 cohort. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with interviews and offers extending into winter/spring 2027. This role is open to students who will be enrolled in or have completed a relevant degree program as of Summer 2027 (e.g., rising juniors/seniors).

Bound ships software that thousands of athletic directors, coaches, and families rely on during the few hours a week that matter most to them - game day. The QA Intern exists to help us protect that experience. You'll learn quality assurance from the ground up: how to read a spec, turn it into a test plan, execute that plan against real product, and write up what you find so an engineer can act on it immediately.

Alongside the day-to-day testing work, you'll own a semester-long project evaluating how Bound should build and maintain automated test coverage - researching frameworks, prototyping a small suite against a real part of our product, and presenting a recommendation to the product and engineering teams. Success looks like: bugs caught before customers see them, test plans that outlive your internship, and a well-reasoned automation recommendation we can actually act on.

• Learn and apply core QA methodology - test case design, boundary and edge case analysis, regression testing, and exploratory testing
• Write clear, reproducible test plans and test cases from product requirements, Linear issues, and feature specs
• Execute manual test passes across Bound's web and mobile experiences, documenting results case by case
• File high-quality bug reports with precise reproduction steps, expected vs. actual behavior, environment details, and supporting evidence
• Verify bug fixes and run regression checks before…
