About Jacobsen Digital

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Founded in 2007, we now have 540 employees.

Overview

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. This role is fully remote within Norway. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Day to day

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Who can apply

• Eligible to work in Norway.
• Available for the full internship period.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

What you get out of it

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
