Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

Everyone has access to the analytics dashboard, and weekly numbers are posted in Slack. Our audience is small but loyal: about 40,000 newsletter subscribers who actually open it.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. The company is based in Paris, France. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Paris team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET.

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
