Summer Software Engineering Intern

About us:

Loan decisions are made locally, usually within a few days. Our branches handle everyday banking, while the loan centre in Lausanne underwrites farm, auto and home loans.

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. You can work from home anywhere in Switzerland. We have no office requirement. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. 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. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

What we're looking for:

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028. Available for the full internship period. Based in Switzerland for the duration of the internship. Eligible to work in Switzerland. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

What you get out of it:

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.
