Who we are

Advisors, operations, compliance and technology teams total roughly 870 people. Vest Rådgivning manages assets for more than 200,000 clients through 120 offices. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in Copenhagen, but nobody is required to come in. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them.

Day to day

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

Who can apply

• Based in Denmark for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Eligible to work in Denmark.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

What you'll learn

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
