.NET Developer Intern

We run a marketplace with over 300,000 active sellers and fulfillment centres in four regions. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Cologne and several other countries. Core hours are 10 to 3, and the rest of the day is flexible.

About the role:

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. Our team is spread across 12 countries. Headquarters is in Cologne. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Cologne team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET.

Day to day:

• 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.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Who can apply:

• Based anywhere in Pakistan.
• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program.
• Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

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.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
