Software Engineer Intern (Remote)

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day.

OVERVIEW

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. You will intern remotely with our team in Berlin. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

REQUIREMENTS

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• 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++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

PREFERRED

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
