Software Engineer Intern

The founders built the first version of the site in 2009 on nights and weekends. Growth has come from search and word of mouth, not paid ads.

The internship

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. The company is based in Glasgow, the UK. The team is distributed across several countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Glasgow team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
