Software Engineer Trainee

Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer.

About the internship

Stagshore is hiring a Software Engineer Trainee for Dec 2026. Our Integrations 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. Remote position. Most of the team is in Pune, but nobody is required to come in. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

Your projects

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Who you are

• Available for a full-time (work from home) internship for the full duration
• Women wanting to start or restart their career can also apply
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026 or 2027

Nice to have

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you get out of it

• 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
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
