Overview

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. This role is fully remote within Sweden. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

What you'll do

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

Preferred

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you'll learn

• 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
• 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
