Software Development Engineer (Intern) (Jan - Jun 2025)

We are looking for exceptionally smart people with strong development skills and an avid interest in web/mobile development. You should be able to learn quickly and work independently - we'll help you as best as we can, but you must be tenacious and resourceful enough to figure out things you don't know how to do.

Requirements

• Students will be required to commit full time 40 hours per week for at least 6 months.
• Solid programming ability in at least one language.
• Clear and precise written communication. A large part of our team works remotely and it's vital that you are able to document ideas, progress and problems with clarity so everyone can work asynchronously.
• You must be happy to work independently (remote welcome) and be able to structure timelines, take ownership and responsibility and communicate clearly.
• Any experience in one or more of the following is a definite plus:
• Worked on non-trivial Javascript applications.
• VueJS experience.
• Development experience in C# or Python.
• Candidates with outstanding performance may be offered a full-time position upon graduation.

Responsibilities

• Build features and fix bugs in applications being developed (this would be the main responsibility – interns will be assigned a project to work on and will focus on development of features and fix bugs that are project related).
• Take part in daily standups and present demos of work done.
• Assist the senior engineers in building proof-of-concepts to validate assumptions during system architecture.
• Assist senior engineers in writing performance test scripts and investigating and debugging performance bottlenecks.

Learning Outcomes

• Participate in daily stand-up meetings as part of the development team and understand agile development methodology.
• Learn to write efficient, clean and maintainable code (code reviews are routinely conducted with guidance from senior engineers).
• Understand what it takes to move from writing code to a system that’s deployed with real-world users – you’ll get a close look at the rigour and detail that goes into code reviews, architecture, performance, security, testing and deployments.
• Gain experience in applying existing academic knowledge in solving real-world problems.
• If you've built something in the past, do let us know. Github and/or StackOverflow profiles are welcome.

You'll get to work in a fast-paced environment, with a great team of full-stack engineers who have a lot of experience in building large software applications from scratch.

To maximize learning, interns will need to be able to and willing to commit full-time throughout the internship period. This commitment includes not having concurrent class schedules or other major conflicting commitments during the internship period, to ensure their active participation and engagement in our internship program.

We seek your understanding that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
