Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About us:

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. We started in 1994 and have grown to about 390 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

About the role:

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. The company is based in Charlotte, the US. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Charlotte team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time.

Day to day:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027
• Available for the full internship period
• Based in Belgium for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Belgium
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++

What you'll learn:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
