Software Engineering Intern

Everyone has access to the analytics dashboard, and weekly numbers are posted in Slack. Our audience is small but loyal: about 40,000 newsletter subscribers who actually open it.

Overview:

Our Core Services 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 Paris, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Paris. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do:

Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. 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. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

What we're looking for:

Eligible to work in Egypt. Based in Egypt for the duration of the internship. 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++. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY).
