Software Engineering Intern

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote position. Most of the team is in London, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Responsibilities:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in the UK.
• Based in the UK for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
