Software Development Intern

The product is a vulnerability management platform that scans networks and ranks fixes by real-world risk. BFR InfoSec runs a 24/7 security operations centre that monitors endpoints, firewalls and cloud accounts for mid-sized companies. We write internal post-mortems after every major engagement, including what went wrong.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in Pakistan. We have no office requirement. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

What you'll do

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

Requirements

• Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection, ideally with a UPS backup.
• Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026 or 2027.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Preferred

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you get out of it

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
