Software Engineer Intern

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. We started in 1994 and have grown to about 390 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Our team is spread across 14 countries. Headquarters is in Charlotte. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Charlotte team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

Day to day

Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements

Based in Belgium for the duration of the internship. Available for the full internship period. Eligible to work in Belgium. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
