Summer Software Engineering Intern

More than 440 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Nicosia and several other countries. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

About the role:

Our Platform team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Remote within Cyprus. The team meets in Nicosia once a quarter, travel covered. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them.

Day to day:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

• Available for the full internship period
