Python Developer Intern

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The internship:

Our Platform 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. You will intern remotely with our team in Rotterdam. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Day to day:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Requirements:

• Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home.
• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection, ideally with a UPS backup.
• Based anywhere in Pakistan.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
