Software Engineering Intern

Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. Founded in 2007, we now have 540 employees.

The internship

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 can work from home anywhere in Norway. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities

Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. 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. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

What we're looking for

Eligible to work in Norway. Based in Norway for the duration of the internship. Available for the full internship period. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. 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. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY).

Nice to have

Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you'll learn

You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
