Software Engineer Intern

Who we are

More than 440 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Nicosia and several other countries. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

About the role

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 can work from home anywhere in Cyprus. We have no office requirement. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Day to day

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

• Based in Cyprus for the duration of the internship
