Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Our website and apps help renters search listings, schedule tours and submit applications.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within Iceland. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Responsibilities:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Based in Iceland for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• Eligible to work in Iceland
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

Preferred:

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

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
