Software Developer Placement Student

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, the company has grown since 2019 by acquiring regional IT providers. We're looking for a Software Developer Placement Student. 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. You will intern remotely with our team in Abu Dhabi. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours follow Gulf time, Monday to Friday. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you will do:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

Requirements:

• Available for the full internship period
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

4 months, starting Mar 2027. Stipend: $950-$1,250 per month.

Perks: Mentorship, Letter of recommendation, Online learning budget, Paid public holidays, Internet allowance.

The posting will close once we have a strong shortlist.

Duration: 4 months. Start: Mar 2027.
