Java Developer Intern

About Ironwoodbench Labs:

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day.

About the role:

Our Internal Tools team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. The company is based in London, the UK. The team is distributed across several countries. You will intern remotely with our team in London. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with UK business hours.

What you'll do:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Requirements:

• Are available for a full-time work from home internship for the entire duration.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026, 2027 or 2028 batch)
• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home.
• 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.
• 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.

What you'll learn:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
