Software Development Intern

About us:

Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Ryeside HQ operates consumer websites and apps used by tens of millions of people each month. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

Overview:

Our Integrations 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. The company is based in Cologne, Germany. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Cologne team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET.

Day to day:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• 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.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

• Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship.

• Own a laptop and have stable internet at home.
