Software Engineer Trainee

Who we are

Enterprise clients outsource service desk, end-user support and data centre operations to us under multi-year contracts. Clarke Technology Group is a managed services provider with 270 employees, supporting more than 1,500 client organisations across the UK.

About the role

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. Our headquarters is in London, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in London. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with UK business hours. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

Day to day

Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. 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. 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. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
