Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Content moderation runs around the clock, with reviewers in multiple time zones and languages. We're looking for a Software Engineering Placement (12 months). 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 position. Most of the team is in Nairobi, but nobody is required to come in. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

What you will do:

Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

Requirements:

Based in Kenya for the duration of the internship. Eligible to work in Kenya. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

6 months, starting Dec 2026. Stipend: KES 48,000-KES 49,000 per month.
