Summer Software Engineering Intern

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.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Melbourne team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Day to day:

• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

Requirements:

• Available for the full internship period
• Eligible to work in Egypt
• Based in Egypt for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

Nice to have:

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Contributions to an open source project, however small
• Familiarity with Django, Flask, FastAPI or Express

What you get out of it:
