Software Engineering Intern

About Green Networks:

Family-owned since 2016, the business started with a single dial-up server. The office takes payments in person, and plenty of customers still pay at the counter. Bucket truck and pole climbing training is done in-house.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You can work from home anywhere in Australia. We have no office requirement. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

What you'll do:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• 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

Requirements:

• Based in Australia for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Australia
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027
• Available for the full internship period
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period

What you'll learn:

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure

Duration: 5 months

Start date: Dec 2026
