Software Engineering Intern

About us

Most of our traffic is mobile, so the iOS and Android apps get as much attention as the website. We started in 2004 and have grown to about 70 people.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within Belgium. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• 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.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

What we're looking for

• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Belgium.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026, 2027 or 2028.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you'll learn

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• 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.
