Backend Development Intern

Orders are packed by hand for two carrier pickups a day, and customer emails go to whoever is free. Hobbyists in Ireland make up most of our customers, and many have been buying since the beginning. Product reviews happen on Thursdays, with demos of whatever shipped that week.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. We are headquartered in Cork and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Cork, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.

Day to day:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works

Requirements:

• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection
• Undergraduates or recent graduates in IT, computer science, management or a related field
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection

Nice to have:
