Software Developer Placement Student

ABOUT US

Dovecraft is a 8-person software shop in Vilnius. The founders still answer support tickets. Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. We keep recurring meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays where we can.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Platform 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. Remote within Lithuania. The team meets in Vilnius once a quarter, travel covered. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• 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.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

REQUIREMENTS

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT
