Software Engineer Intern

Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Ahmedabad and several other countries.

Internship overview

Kilncross is hiring a Software Engineer Intern for Dec 2026. Our Core Services team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. You will intern remotely with our team in Ahmedabad. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning.

What you'll do

Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

Who you are

Available for the full internship period. Based in the Netherlands for the duration of the internship. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Preferred qualifications

Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you'll learn

You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.

Program dates: Dec 2026, 5 months.

Intern pay: €3,700 - €5,100 per month
