Summer Software Engineering Intern

About us:

Help desk calls are answered from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with an on-call tech covering nights and weekends. Typical projects include office moves, server migrations to Azure, and replacing aging switches and access points. After-hours on-call comes around every fourth week.

About the role:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Our team is spread across 6 countries. Headquarters is in Melbourne.

What you'll do:

• 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.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in Egypt.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
