Software Engineering Intern

About NG Cloud

Headquartered in Cape Coral since 2010, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. We started in 2010 and have grown to about 220 people. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

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 will intern remotely with our team in Cape Coral. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

What you'll do

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• 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
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

Who can apply

• Available for the full internship period
• Based in Italy for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Italy
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
