Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

ABOUT US:

Clients are mostly mid-sized companies in Texas.

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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Houston, and the stipend is paid monthly in euros. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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
• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

REQUIREMENTS:

• Based in France for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• Eligible to work in France
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

BONUS POINTS:

• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express
• Contributions to an open source project, however small

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers
