Software Engineering Intern

Who we are

Small businesses use our merchant services for card processing, POS terminals and next-day funding. Our advisors handle retirement planning, investment management and estate coordination for about 900 households.

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. You will intern remotely with our team in Montpellier. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

Who can apply

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

What you get out of it

• 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
