Software Engineer Trainee

Our website and apps help renters search listings, schedule tours and submit applications. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

Overview

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Almere team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.
