About us:

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Founded in 2007, we now have 540 employees.

Overview:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Norway. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

• Eligible to work in Norway
• Based in Norway for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Preferred:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you get out of it:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
