Software Engineering Placement (12 months)

About us

We partner with universities to run online degree programs, from course production to enrolment support. Since 1998, the platform has grown to more than 5,000 corporate customers. Deadlines cluster at the end of the quarter when clients spend their budgets.

Overview

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Remote within Chile. The team meets in Santiago once a quarter, travel covered. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

What you'll do

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• 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

What we're looking for

• Based in Chile for the duration of the internship
• Available for the full internship period
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours

Nice to have

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef

What you'll learn

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
