Software Engineering Intern

No call centre and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Started by a former school district network admin in 2021, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals.

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 within Cyprus. The team meets in Limassol once a quarter, travel covered. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Responsibilities:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• 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.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Requirements:

• Eligible to work in Cyprus.
• Based in Cyprus for the duration of the internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026, 2027 or 2028.
