The program

Tamarackwater is hiring an Industrial Placement, Software Engineering for Summer 2027. 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. Our headquarters is in Hyderabad, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Hyderabad team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them.

What you'll do

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• 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
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
