About Reidy.AI

Reidy.AI is a Houston-based real estate technology company building the next generation of AI-powered property intelligence tools. The Reidy.AI Suite is currently in active development toward a 2026 launch, spanning mobile, web, backend, and AI services. We operate at the intersection of real estate, machine learning, and cloud infrastructure, and we are looking for sharp, motivated students who want hands-on experience with a production-grade tech stack before they enter the workforce.

The Opportunity

This internship is built for computer science or software engineering students who want real-world experience beyond what coursework provides. You will work alongside our engineering team of 11+ developers, actively contributing to quality assurance across all layers of the Reidy.AI Suite. This is not a shadow role. You will have ownership of test plans, bug reports, and minor bug fixes in a live development environment with a real beta deadline on the horizon.

High performers will be considered for full-time positions as Reidy.AI scales toward and beyond the beta launch.

Perform regression testing on new features and bug fixes across sprint cycles

Test authentication flows, user role enforcement, and feature flag behavior across all platform user types

Validate API endpoints using tools 

such as Postman or Swagger for correctness, edge cases, and error handling

Conduct data integrity checks on SQL Server schemas, EF Core migrations, and integration points with third-party data providers

Test real-time features including SignalR-based messaging and notification flows

Document and track defects in GitHub Issues with clear reproduction steps, severity classification, and supporting evidence

Bug Fixing

Triage and resolve small, well-defined bugs across the codebase under the guidance of senior engineers

Submit clean pull requests with descriptive commit messages and supporting context

Participate in code review for your own submissions and provide feedback on peers' work
