SDE Intern (Work From Home)

Who we are:

Our product started as a side project in 2020 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Berlin. Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us.

Overview:

Our Internal Tools 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 12 countries. Headquarters is in Berlin. You will intern remotely with our team in Berlin. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• 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.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements:

• Based in Sri Lanka.
• Undergraduates or recent graduates in IT, computer science, management or a related field.
• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• 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.

Bonus points:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
