Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About Thatchhall Labs

Our engineering group is split into roughly 60 product teams, each owning its services end to end, with on-call shared across time zones. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Overview

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. You can work from home anywhere in Spain. We have no office requirement.

Responsibilities

• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
