Software Engineering Intern

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

About the internship

Dovern Data is hiring a Software Engineering Intern for Mar 2027. 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. Our headquarters is in Nashville, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Nashville, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

Your projects

Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. 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.

Basic qualifications

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028. Eligible to work in Italy. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. 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++.

Nice to have

Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you'll learn

Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next. 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.

Program dates: Mar 2027, 6 months.

Compensation: $2,750-$3,000/month

What we offer

Flexible hours. Letter of recommendation. Possibility of a full-time offer. Mentorship. Company laptop.

Please submit your CV in English.

Duration: 6 months. Start: Mar 2027.
