Software Engineering Intern

About us:

Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. We know our clients well, often three generations of the same family. Dress is business casual, and suits come out for client meetings.

About the role:

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 Switzerland. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Responsibilities:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• 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.

Who can apply:

• Based in Switzerland for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
