Software Engineer Intern (Remote)

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

The internship:

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 within Sweden. The team meets in Stockholm once a quarter, travel covered. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Responsibilities:

Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

What we're looking for:

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Eligible to work in Sweden. Available for the full internship period. Based in Sweden for the duration of the internship. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY).

What you'll learn:

Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
