Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

We have been writing policies for the same farms and small businesses since 1975. Our producers answer their own phones and visit commercial clients in person. Licensing (property and casualty, life and health) is paid for, with study time during work hours.

About the role:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Uruguay.

Responsibilities:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Who can apply:

• Based in Uruguay for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Eligible to work in Uruguay
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Nice to have:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
