Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

Who we are

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. Raleigh Software builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

Overview

Our Internal Tools 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Raleigh 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

• 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.
• 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.

Who can apply

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Nigeria for the duration of the internship.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Bonus points

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