Software Engineer Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Founded in 2007, we now have 540 employees.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in Norway. We have no office requirement. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

Responsibilities:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

What we're looking for:

• Available for the full internship period
• Eligible to work in Norway
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

What you get out of it:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
