We are looking for a Summer Trainee – Software Test Engineering to join our software testing team in Oulu for the summer. As a Summer Trainee, you’ll support our test engineers in running and monitoring automated tests for our mobile apps, investigating failures, and helping with manual regression testing for new features and releases. This role is a good fit for a student or early-career engineer who is interested in test automation, CI/CD, and mobile app quality, and wants to learn how large-scale automated testing is run in practice.

Our summer trainee period is planned to be 4 months, timing can be agreed between 05/2026- 09/2026. The position is based in our Oulu office and we expect the candidate to work on-site at the office throughout the traineeship.

Key Responsibilities

Test Automation Monitoring & Execution

• Run and monitor automated test suites for mobile app builds (e.g., release and regression sets) using existing pipelines and dashboards.
• Review test execution results, identify failures, and collect logs, screenshots, and other evidence for the team.
• Re-run failed tests where needed and help distinguish between real issues and flaky tests.

Support for Test Automation

• Assist in maintaining and improving existing automated test sets under guidance from senior test engineers.
• Help keep test cases and runs organized.

Manual Regression and Feature Testing

• Execute manual regression test cases for mobile apps according to existing test plans.
• Follow detailed test cases to verify end-to-end flows across app, backend, and data.
• Log clear, reproducible bug reports with steps, expected/actual results, and relevant attachments.

Reporting and Collaboration

• Summarize test results for daily/weekly status (e.g., which test sets ran, pass/fail status, known issues).
• Work closely with test engineers and developers to share findings and reproduce issues.
• Participate in team routines (e.g., standups, test result reviews) and learn how features move from development to release.

Experience & Skills

We do not expect you to be an experienced tester yet. We are looking for someone who already has basic coding skills and AI tool experience, and is motivated to grow in software testing during the summer.

Background

• Currently studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Some prior experience from software projects (coursework, hobby projects, or previous internships).

Testing & Automation

• Basic understanding of software testing concepts (e.g., what a test case is, what a regression test is).
• Hands-on interest in test automation and willingness to take ownership of new automated test cases for mobile app flows.
• Curiosity about how automated tests are integrated into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) and how results are monitored.

Technical Skills

• Practical programming or scripting experience in Python (e.g., course projects, hobby projects, or simple utilities); ready to extend this into writing automated tests.
• Some prior use of AI-assisted development or testing tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar) to help write code, tests, or analyze logs.
• Comfort working with command-line tools, Git, and basic developer tools, or strong motivation to learn them quickly.
• Ability to read logs and follow step-by-step instructions to reproduce issues.

Working Style & Collaboration

• Structured and careful way of working; able to follow test steps accurately and document findings clearly.
• Good communication skills in English; able to ask questions early when something is unclear.
• Interest in learning how large-scale mobile app testing is organized (test plans, automation, dashboards, CI/CD).

What You Will Learn

During the summer, you will have the opportunity to:

• See how end-to-end mobile app testing is run in a production environment.
• Work with test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines used in real releases.
• Practice failure analysis, basic debugging, and clear bug reporting.
• Learn how to read and interpret test dashboards and monitoring tools for automated runs.
• Collaborate with experienced test engineers and developers in an international team.
