Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About Walnutcraft:

Our main product is a payroll and timekeeping app for hourly workforces, sold by subscription and supported from New York City. Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

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. Our headquarters is in New York City, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in New York City, and the stipend is paid monthly in euros. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern.

Day to day:

Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. 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.

What we're looking for:

Based in Germany for the duration of the internship. Available for the full internship period. Eligible to work in Germany. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026 or 2027. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. 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. Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.

Preferred:

Contributions to an open source project, however small.

What you'll learn:

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.

Duration: 5 months

Start date: Immediately

Stipend: €3,400 - €3,600 monthly

Perks:

Flexible hours. Company laptop. Online learning budget. Certificate of completion.

Duration: 5 months. Start: Immediately.
