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. Remote, open to candidates across Austria. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

Who can apply

• Eligible to work in Austria.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Austria for the duration of the internship.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Bonus points

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you get out of it

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
