Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Chicago, Illinois and two nearshore delivery centres.

Internship overview

Velvetside is hiring an Industrial Placement, Software Engineering for Feb 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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Chicago, and the stipend is paid monthly in local currency. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities

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. 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. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

What we're looking for

Based in Türkiye for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Preferred qualifications

Contributions to an open source project, however small. Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.

What you'll learn

Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at 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.

Program dates: Feb 2027, 4 months.

Compensation: TRY 64,000 - TRY 73,000/month
