Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from New York City. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Our team is spread across 11 countries. Headquarters is in New York City. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our New York City team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

What you'll do:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026, 2027 or 2028
• Eligible to work in Germany
• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

Duration: 6 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: €3,400 to €3,800 monthly

Perks:

• Certificate of completion
• Company laptop
• Possibility of a full-time offer

Duration: 6 months. Start: Immediately.
