Software Engineer Intern

Who we are:

Chartered in 1980, Denis Community Bank has stayed independent through several rounds of mergers in the area. Most deposits come from local households and businesses, and most loans stay in the communities we serve. Founded in 1980, we now have 120 employees.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote within Belgium. The team meets in Antwerp once a quarter, travel covered. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Day to day:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Belgium for the duration of the internship.
• 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.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Preferred:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

Duration: 3 months

Start date: Mar 2027

Stipend: €1,800 - €2,050 per month

What we offer:
