Headquartered in Rome, the company runs operations centres in Lazio and two other locations. Rome Advisors manages assets for more than 200,000 clients through 120 offices. Dress is business casual, and suits come out for client meetings.

The internship:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. You will intern remotely with our team in Rome. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET.

Responsibilities:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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

• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
