Software Engineering Intern

Our content library includes over 20,000 courses in 15 languages. Accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA is part of every release.

Overview:

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. You can work from home anywhere in Kenya. We have no office requirement. Few meetings, lots of written updates. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027
• Eligible to work in Kenya
• Based in Kenya for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

What you'll learn:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
