About the internship:

Trellisloft is hiring a Software Engineering Placement (12 months) for Mar 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. Our headquarters is in Manchester, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Manchester, and the stipend is paid monthly in euros. You will need to be available during UK office hours, at least until 3:00 PM GMT. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Your projects:

• 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
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Who you are:

• Eligible to work in Latvia
• Based in Latvia for the duration of the internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

Nice to have:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express

What you'll learn:

• 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
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it

Program dates: Mar 2027, 4 months.

Intern pay: €1,700-€2,100 monthly

Benefits for interns:

• Letter of recommendation
• Mentorship
