The program:

Elbe Cloud is hiring a Software Development Intern for Dec 2026. 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 will intern remotely with our team in Berlin. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

Your projects:

• 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.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

What we're looking for:

• Based anywhere in Pakistan.
• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program.
• 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.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026 or 2027.

Preferred qualifications:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.

Program dates: Dec 2026, 6 months.

Intern pay: $400-$420/month

What we offer:

• Letter of recommendation.
• Pre-placement offer (PPO) for strong performers.
• Certificate.
• Internet allowance.
• Laptop provided for the internship.

Candidates must be eligible to work in.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Dec 2026.
