Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

About us:

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from Valladolid. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

About the role:

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. Remote within Spain. The team meets in Valladolid once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

What you'll do:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

Requirements:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Spain.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

What you get out of it:

• 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.
