Software Engineer Trainee

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Founded in 1979, we now have 2,600 employees.

The program:

Pokhara Technologies is hiring a Software Engineer Trainee for Immediately. 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. Remote, open to candidates across Nepal. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.

What you'll do:

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. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Basic qualifications:

Available for the full internship period, work from home. Own laptop and a reliable internet connection. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026, 2027 or 2028. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Preferred qualifications:

Contributions to an open source project, however small. Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you get out of it:

Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends. 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.

Program dates: Immediately, 3 months.

Pay: NPR 27,000 to NPR 30,000 per month

What we offer:

Laptop provided for the internship. Internet allowance. Job offer on successful completion. Informal dress code.

Duration: 3 months. Start: Immediately.
