Software Engineer Intern

Who we are:

Agents, brokers and direct customers all buy through our platforms, with policy administration on Guidewire. January renewals keep everyone busy for a few weeks.

About the role:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Our team is spread across 11 countries. Headquarters is in Glasgow. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Glasgow team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM UK time.

Responsibilities:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

• 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++.
