Software Engineer Intern

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

About the internship:

Thatchhall Labs is hiring a Software Engineer Intern for Immediately. Our Internal Tools 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. This role is fully remote within Spain. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Your projects:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• 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
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack

Who you are:

• Eligible to work in Spain
• Based in Spain for the duration of the internship
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• 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
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Nice to have:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next

Program dates: Immediately, 6 months.

Intern pay: €1,200 to €1,250 per month

Benefits for interns:

• Certificate of completion
• Possibility of a full-time offer
• Letter of recommendation
• Flexible hours
• Online learning budget

We are reviewing applications as they arrive, so apply early.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Immediately.
