Software Engineering Frontend Internship
This is an onsite internship in Bangalore at 7 Codearena, where you test frontend screens and REST APIs alongside the Core Engineering team. The pay is ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 a month, which is well below what similar internships across India typically offer.
Pay compared with similar internships
The stipend is ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 a month. That is well below typical for internships in the same field across India, so weigh it against the testing experience and your own costs in Bangalore.
What you will test and fix
Despite the title, this internship is mostly about testing. You check that frontend screens and APIs behave properly, report what breaks, and help automate the checks.
- Frontend and API checks: test user flows across browsers, screen sizes and interaction states, and test REST APIs for status codes, response times, authentication behaviour and correct payloads.
- Real-time and auth features: help test WebSockets, live data updates, reconnection, dashboards under heavy load, data caching, session handling, authentication loops and protected routes.
- Bugs and automation: find, reproduce, document and track bugs and UI/UX inconsistencies, verify fixes with Core Engineering, help build automated tests with Playwright or similar tools, and suggest ways to make the product more reliable.

Who can apply and what to bring
Students, freshers, self-taught developers and people with strong personal or portfolio projects are welcome. The post says practical skills and projects count for more than formal degrees. Candidates must be Indian citizens. Fluent Hindi is needed, and limited English is acceptable.

- Basic knowledge of REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes and JSON.
- Basic Git and GitHub.
- Preferred: Postman, Playwright, Cypress or similar tools.
- A plus: browser DevTools, network requests and console errors. An advantage: exposure to WebSockets, authentication, caching or real-time apps.
