Internship overview

Tacklethread is hiring a Software Engineering Placement (12 months) for Jul 2027. 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. We are headquartered in Doha and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Doha, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. You will work Dubai business hours, Monday to Friday. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• 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.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.

What we're looking for

• Based in Japan for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Japan.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Nice to have

• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you get out of it

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• 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.
