About Gallo Managed Services:

Gallo Managed Services is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. Our dress code is a company polo and clean jeans.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Uruguay. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll do:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

Bonus points:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn:

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