Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About us

Started in 1971 as a two-truck operation, the company is now one of the larger 3PLs in Finland. Technology teams build the TMS, WMS and customer portals in-house. Founded in 1971, we now have 4,600 employees.

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Finland. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async.

Responsibilities

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

What we're looking for

• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028.
• Eligible to work in Finland.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• 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.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Bonus points

• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express.

What you'll learn

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
