Software Engineer Intern

Who we are:

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote, open to candidates across France. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

What we're looking for:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Based in France for the duration of the internship.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

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.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
