INTERNSHIP OVERVIEW:

Trellisloft is hiring a Software Developer Intern for May 2027. 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 internship is fully remote. Interns join our Manchester team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• 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
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack

WHO YOU ARE:

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

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure

Program dates: May 2027, 12 weeks.

Compensation: $44.50 - $47.00 an hour

PERKS:

• Flexible hours
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
• Return offer opportunities
• Paid company holidays

We are an equal opportunity employer. If you need an accommodation during the application process, let us know.

Duration: 12 weeks. Start: May 2027.
