This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Our team is spread across 14 countries. Headquarters is in Galway. You will intern remotely with our team in Galway. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with UK business hours.
