Summer Software Engineering Intern (Remote)

Who we are

Since 2017, the company has sold practice management software to dental and veterinary clinics in the UAE. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The internship

Responsibilities

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

What we're looking for

• Based in the UAE for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in the UAE.
