Internship overview:

Dublin Labs is hiring a Backend Engineering Intern for Jan 2027. Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. We are headquartered in Dublin and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Dublin team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• 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.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
