Software Engineering Intern

Advisors, operations, compliance and technology teams total roughly 870 people. Vest Rådgivning manages assets for more than 200,000 clients through 120 offices. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Denmark. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• 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.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Who can apply:

• Available for the full internship period.
• Eligible to work in Denmark.
• 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.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Preferred:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
