Summer Software Engineering Intern

ABOUT US

We make a web-based inventory and purchasing system used by independent restaurants, breweries and small food manufacturers. Founded in 2013, the business writes the billing, metering and customer portal software that small water and electric utilities run on. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Jeddah, and the stipend is paid monthly in reais. Working hours follow Gulf time, Monday to Friday.

DAY TO DAY

• 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.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Eligible to work in Brazil.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Based in Brazil for the duration of the internship.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.

PREFERRED

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
