QA Manual Trainee

Andersen is an international IT company and one of the leaders in outsourced software development. Around 90% of our projects are in banking and fintech, serving clients around the world. We are growing fast — and we want our developers and QA engineers to grow just as fast.

A traineeship is more than just learning. It is the fastest path into the industry for those who do not yet have commercial experience.

The QA Traineeship at Andersen is your entry point into real software development with the prospect of future employment. You will strengthen your practical skills and start your career alongside experienced professionals.

The program is open to candidates from Kazakhstan. Participants from Almaty are expected to attend the office during the training period, while participants from Astana can join online.

What we offer:

• 5 months — from your first day in the Lab to your first day on a commercial project.

• Full-time commitment — 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. An intensive format designed to accelerate your professional growth.

• Bring your own laptop. Your laptop + our training program = a Junior specialist ready for real-world tasks.

• Career-focused training. The program is dedicated to developing the skills required for a successful start in IT. As this is an educational initiative, no scholarship is provided during the traineeship.

• A 1.5-year training agreement. A formal learning arrangement: you study, we invest in your future career and employment.

Who We Are Looking For:

Someone who understands the value of product quality and is ready to build expertise in Quality Assurance.

Required Qualifications:

• English proficiency at an Intermediate level or higher.

• Good understanding of software testing theory.

• Basic knowledge of SQL.

• Understanding of how web and mobile applications work.

Nice to Have:

• Technical background.

• Any programming experience.

• Completed testing-related courses.

• German proficiency at an Intermediate level or higher.

What makes our traineeship great:

• Experienced mentors and weekly technical assessments. You will always know your current level and what to focus on next.

• A personal coordinator throughout the entire traineeship. They will help you navigate the process, provide guidance, support you when challenges arise, and make sure you never feel lost.

• A second technology track built into the program. Start your commercial journey with a broader skill set and gain exposure to enterprise-level development from day one. Around 90% of our projects are world-class banking and fintech solutions.

• Transparent career growth. Clear grading criteria and fast development opportunities mean you always know what it takes to move forward and reach your goals.
