The program:

Trellisloft is hiring a Software Engineering Intern for Immediately. Our Core Services 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Manchester team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM UK time. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll do:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• 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.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

Basic qualifications:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026, 2027 or 2028.
• Available for the full internship period.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

Preferred qualifications:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• 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.

Program dates: Immediately, 4 months.

Compensation: UYU 87,000-UYU 125,000 monthly

Perks:

• Flexible hours.
• Mentorship.
• Internet allowance.

We may close the role early, so do not wait too long to apply.

Duration: 4 months. Start: Immediately.
