Software Engineering Intern

Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Quarter-end is busy, and everyone helps with client review prep.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote, open to candidates across Iceland. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

Day to day:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Who can apply:

• Based in Iceland for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Eligible to work in Iceland.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• 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.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Bonus points:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
