Software Engineering Intern

About Tundrawater Software

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

About the role

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote, open to candidates across Senegal. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Day to day

• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

• Available for the full internship period
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
