Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Overview:

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 Rotterdam. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• 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
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Nice to have:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• 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
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
