Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

Who we are

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

Our Platform 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. Remote within Norway. The team meets in Oslo once a quarter, travel covered.

Day to day

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• 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.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Requirements

• Based in Norway for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Norway.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
