Internship overview:

Rome Advisors is hiring a Python Engineering Intern for Spring 2027. Our Core Services 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. Our team is spread across 11 countries. Headquarters is in Rome. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Rome team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• 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.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Who you are:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Nice to have:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
