Summer Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia and two nearshore delivery centres. Founded in 2011, we now have 360 employees.

Overview:

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 Germany. The team meets in Dortmund once a quarter, travel covered.

What you'll do:

• 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in Germany
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Available for the full internship period
• Based in Germany for the duration of the internship
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

What you'll learn:

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
