THIS IS NOT A SUMMER INTERNSHIP. Immediate hire only.
Please DO NOT APPLY if you are looking for a salary or monthly stipend. This is primarily an educational opportunity.
Master's Degree in Engineering Management, Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, QA/Testing, Technical Product Management, or a closely related technical field preferred. Official QA Certification is a plus.
About the Role
We're hiring a remote Technical Product Management Intern to lead squad-level delivery, owning individual epics from requirements review through QA completion, MVP scoping, and production readiness in an Agile/Scrum environment.
This is not a general PM internship — it's a highly technical, execution-focused Technical Product Manager role for someone who can work closely with engineering, QA, and project leadership to ensure an epic is fully completed against requirements, documentation, expected behavior, and release standards.
You'll lead a small squad centered on one assigned epic, working closely with a QA teammate and an AI/full-stack engineer, while collaborating with the Project Manager, Scrum Master, design team, and frontend team as needed. Your job: make sure nothing is missing before an epic advances, QA is completed against spec, MVP scope is clearly defined, and work is ready for staging and production release.
Ideal for someone who enjoys product operations, technical coordination, QA alignment, release readiness, Agile execution, and seeing product work through to completion.
Key Responsibilities
Own one assigned epic at a time, driving it from requirements alignment through QA completion, MVP scoping, staging readiness, and production release.
Lead squad-level coordination across a small delivery team (Product Manager, QA teammate, AI/full-stack engineer).
Collaborate with the Project Manager and Scrum Master to run squad meetings, track progress, remove blockers, and keep epic execution aligned.
Ensure all epic requirements are fully completed per approved documentation, frontend requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and data limitations.
Review existing documentation and verify frontend implementation matches documented requirements, rather than authoring documentation from scratch.
Work with engineers following internal SOPs to complete missing frontend documentation — user stories, acceptance criteria, edge cases, data dictionaries, and related implementation details.
Validate frontend and backend behavior against product requirements, workflow logic, business rules, and QA expectations.
Partner with QA to confirm testing is thorough and nothing important is left unresolved before release.
Identify gaps, contradictions, incomplete states, missing requirements, weak UX handling, or unfinished implementation that would block production readiness.
Collaborate with design and frontend teams as needed for polish or implementation cleanup.
Support release flow — moving completed work from development to staging for final QA, then scoping the MVP version for production.
Participate in general product management tasks: MVP scoping, prioritization support, epic readiness review, delivery coordination.
Work with the client advisory board to collect product feedback, validate usability/value, and turn conversations into actionable input.
Support outreach and recruitment for the client advisory board — identifying, inviting, and onboarding new members via existing SOP.
Help engage potential clients through advisory board participation to gather stronger feedback from real target users and prospective customers.
Qualifications (Required)
Currently enrolled in or recently completed a Master's degree in Engineering Management, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, QA/Testing, Product Management, or a closely related technical field.
Strong ability to understand technical requirements, system behavior, workflow logic, APIs, and data flow across full-stack products.
Strong ability to manage work across engineering, QA, and product stakeholders, ensuring deliverables meet spec.
Experience with user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge cases in a real product or technical environment.
Strong attention to detail, follow-through, and process discipline.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to coordinate across technical and non-technical team members.
Ability to think critically about release readiness, QA completeness, failure states, and real-world usage scenarios.
Comfortable operating inside Agile/Scrum workflows and cross-functional squad structures.
Preferred Backgrounds
Technical Product Management | QA Analyst or Test Engineering | Technical Business Analysis | Systems Analysis | Full-Stack or Backend Engineering exposure | Agile/Scrum delivery experience | Cross-functional coordination across product, engineering, QA, and design
Nice to Have (Not Required)
Familiarity with UX Design, microservices, and modern web application architecture.
Familiarity with Figma, Jira, Linear, ClickUp, or similar planning/bug-tracking tools.
Exposure to frontend QA, UI behavior validation, and release workflows.
Exposure to AI-assisted software delivery or collaboration with AI coding tools.
Interest in product operations, release management, UX logic, and client feedback loops.
What You'll Gain
Real-world experience leading squad-level Technical Product Management execution.
Direct collaboration with Project Managers, Scrum Masters, engineers, QA, designers, and client advisory stakeholders.
Hands-on exposure to epic ownership, MVP scoping, QA coordination, release readiness, and production delivery.
Practical experience in a modern full-stack workflow involving microservices, frontend requirements, QA validation, and Agile execution.
Strong resume experience for future roles in Technical Product Management, Product Operations, Technical Program Management, Business Analysis, QA Leadership, or Engineering Management.
