Software Engineer Intern

Advisors, operations, compliance and technology teams total roughly 870 people. Vest Rådgivning manages assets for more than 200,000 clients through 120 offices. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

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. You can work from home anywhere in Denmark. We have no office requirement. Few meetings, lots of written updates. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in Denmark.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Bonus points:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• 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.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
