Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

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.

Internship overview:

Thatchhall Labs is hiring a Software Engineering Placement (12 months) for Sep 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. Remote within Spain. The team meets in Madrid once a quarter, travel covered. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

What you'll do:

Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

What we're looking for:

Based in Spain for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred qualifications:

Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP. Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express. Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work.

What you get out of it:

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

Pay: €1,250 - €1,350 monthly

Perks:

Certificate of completion. Paid public holidays. Online learning budget. Flexible hours. Internet allowance. Company laptop.
