Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

Wheatbank Labs is a 13-person team running a niche online store for vintage audio parts. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

Overview

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our San Jose team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Our standups are at 9:00 AM Pacific. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• 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.

Who can apply

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027.
• Eligible to work in France.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

What you get out of it

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
