Personal lines make up about 70 percent of premium. Clients drop by to pay premiums, ask about a claim or just say hello.

Overview

Our Platform 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. Our headquarters is in Rotterdam, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. Remote internship with a team based in Rotterdam. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Responsibilities

Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
