Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

About Athanasiou Marketplace

More than 440 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Nicosia and several other countries. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
