Summer Software Engineering Intern

Who we are

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts.

Overview

Our Internal Tools 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 Sweden. The team meets in Stockholm once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.

• Eligible to work in Sweden.

• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
