Python Developer Intern (Work From Home)

About us:

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer.

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. The company is based in Madrid, Spain. The team is distributed across several countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Madrid. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Day to day:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• 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.

What we're looking for:

• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home, ideally with a UPS backup.
• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

Duration: 3 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: $350-$450/month

Perks:

• Internet allowance.
• Mentorship from senior team members.
• Informal dress code.
• Letter of recommendation.

Duration: 3 months. Start: Immediately.
