Posted on Feb 10, 2026
About the company
Tabby builds financial products used by millions of users across the GCC. We work on high-load, security-critical systems with strict regulatory requirements.
This internship is not educational by default. It is an engineering role with real responsibility.
Context
QA engineers at Tabby are responsible for product quality across multiple systems and platforms. This includes testing user-facing applications, backend services, APIs, integrations, and internal tools. QA at Tabby is engineering-driven and focused on reliability, automation, and system-level quality.
The internship is designed for strong early-career engineers who want to grow as quality engineers, not manual testers only. Interns are embedded into real teams, work with production systems, and are expected to think system-wide about quality.
