Software Developer Placement Student

We handle millions of shipments a year across truck, rail, ocean and air.

Internship overview

Wrenstack Logistics is hiring a Software Developer Placement Student for Summer 2027. Our Core Services 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. We are headquartered in Zürich and have been hiring remotely since 2020. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Zürich team on daily calls and get a named mentor. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

What we're looking for

• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Germany
• 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

Preferred qualifications

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express

What you'll learn

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it

Program dates: Summer 2027, 12 months.

Compensation: €3,900-€4,100 monthly

Perks

• Flexible hours
• Letter of recommendation
• Online learning budget
• Certificate of completion
