Python Engineering Intern

About Rome Advisors:

Headquartered in Rome, the company runs operations centers in Lazio and two other locations. Rome Advisors manages assets for more than 200,000 clients through 120 offices. Dress is business casual, and suits come out for client meetings.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. You will intern remotely with our team in Rome. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure

Duration: 10-12 weeks

Start date: June 2027

Stipend: $41.50 to $54.00 per hour

Perks:

• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
