Software Developer Placement Student

About Pinehaven:

We operate two 24/7 network operations centres and a security operations centre, staffed in three shifts.

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. The company is based in San Diego, the US. The team is spread across multiple countries. You will intern remotely with our team in San Diego. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 3 hours of overlap with US Pacific time.

What you'll do:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

What we're looking for:

• Eligible to work in the UK
• Based in the UK for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• 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
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
