Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Enterprise clients outsource service desk, end-user support and data centre operations to us under multi-year contracts. Across Vienna, the company runs 14 branch offices and a central depot for hardware staging and imaging. Certification exams are paid for, and passing one comes with a raise.

The internship

Our Integrations team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Remote, open to candidates across Austria. Few meetings, lots of written updates. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• 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

Requirements

• Eligible to work in Austria
• Based in Austria for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• 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)

Bonus points

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you get out of it

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
