Software Engineer Intern

About us

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync.

Overview

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 can work from home anywhere in Australia. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do

• 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.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Who can apply

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Australia.
• Based in Australia for the duration of the internship.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• 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.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at 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.
