Test Engineer - Intern

Test Engineer

Reality Mine has been a pioneer in delivering data-driven insights to the media and market research industries for over a decade. Our platform provides unique and actionable data solutions to top brands and partners worldwide, empowering them to make informed, strategic decisions.

We're looking for a detail-oriented Test Engineer to join our Data Products team. You'll systematically explore mobile and desktop applications, using our in-house tooling to identify, capture, and validate key data points.

The role sits at the intersection of QA and data - you'll define what to capture from app sessions and ensure it is extracted accurately and reliably.

• Systematically exercise applications across Android, iOS, and desktop platforms, following defined scenarios and discovering new paths
• Analyze application behavior to identify where meaningful data is situated
• Author and maintain structured data definitions using our AI-assisted internal tooling – specifying what to capture and how to validate it
• Verify output accuracy by comparing captured data against expected results across a range of app states and scenarios
• Maintain and update definitions as applications change, identifying and resolving breakages
• Build and manage a library of test scenarios to support ongoing development and regression testing
• Document coverage and findings clearly for the wider team

You're naturally curious and methodical – the kind of person who enjoys pulling an application apart to understand how it works. You have a background in software testing or QA, and you're able to exercise unfamiliar apps across mobile and desktop platforms with a systematic eye.

• Experience in software testing, QA, or a similar analytical role
• Comfortable navigating mobile and desktop applications in a methodical, exploratory way
• Familiarity with structured data formats (e.g. JSON, XML) – you don't need to be a developer, but you should be comfortable reading and editing structured definitions
• Strong attention to detail and pattern recognition
• Experience with Android and/or iOS devices
• Keen interest or willingness working with AI and AI-assisted tools
• Bonus: experience with app inspection tools, accessibility services, or data extraction workflows.

At Reality Mine, we believe our people are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we go the extra mile to support every team member to unlock their full potential. Whether you're hungry for learning, driven by achievement, or just love being part of a dynamic and supportive team, you'll find a home here.
