Software Engineering Intern

About Jacobsen Digital:

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:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote, open to candidates across Norway. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Day to day:

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

What we're looking for:

• Based in Norway for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Norway
• Available for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• 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)

Preferred:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics

What you'll learn:

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