Software Developer Placement Student

About Prairieview IT:

Most work comes in through ConnectWise tickets, with a dispatch board for onsite visits. Our technicians handle onsite and remote support for medical offices, accounting firms and manufacturers on fixed monthly contracts.

About the role:

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. You can work from home anywhere in the Netherlands. We have no office requirement. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Responsibilities:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Eligible to work in the Netherlands.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
