Software Engineering Intern

Headquartered in Vienna since 1999, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

About the role:

Our Internal Tools 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. This role is fully remote within Austria. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Responsibilities:

• 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.
• 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.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

Who can apply:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Austria for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Austria.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.

What you get out of it:

• 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.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
