Software Engineering Intern

About the Job
As a Software Engineering Intern, you'll ship real enhancements to the infrastructure our clients use to move money and access financial data. You will produce production code, reviewed by experienced engineers, that is used by clients.

You will work across several of our Java Spring Boot services running on Kubernetes. AI-assisted development is central to our process: Claude Code is part of our standard toolchain, with a generous (near-unlimited) usage quota. We expect engineers at every level to be fluent with these tools, using them to drive efficiency while maintaining control over what ships.

You will have a dedicated mentor, alongside your team and manager, to help set and track your development goals. The internship is designed as a pathway into a full-time engineering role.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and debug software enhancements from ticket to production, with mentorship reviewing your work.
• Utilize agentic coding tools (Claude Code) to enhance both the quality and velocity of your work, while helping the team build effective usage patterns.
• Participate in code reviews, providing and acting upon constructive feedback.
• Rapidly learn the team's tools, languages, and workflows to deliver projects within your initial weeks.
• Engage in stand-ups, planning, and reviews; proactively flag at-risk projects.
• Develop an understanding of our clients, their end-users, and the regulated environment we operate in.
• Get involved beyond your team: participate in company events, demos, and cross-team initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• Final-year student or recent graduate (within the last 12 months) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience using agentic coding tools as a core part of your workflow (we run on Claude Code); possess the judgment to evaluate their output critically.
• Proficient in at least one programming language such as Java, C++, Python, or similar.
• Understanding of the fundamentals: version control, testing, and debugging.
• Evidence of initiative: something you’ve built outside coursework, such as a side project, hackathon entry, open-source contribution, or previous internship.
• Strong problem-solving skills; able to articulate your approach in breaking down complex issues.
• Clear written communication skills; able to explain your projects and their rationale effectively.
• Independent worker with the ability to seek help as needed.

Note: We value diverse experiences; if you resonate with our mission and values, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every requirement.
