Software Engineer Internship

Who you are

• You don’t need to tick every box. We care more about how you communicate, learn and work with others than how many lines of code you write.
• You expect to graduate in 2028 with a degree in a relevant subject, and you’re available for the full 10 weeks.
• You enjoy software and like figuring out how things work.
• You communicate clearly, ask questions, and share what you learn.
• You enjoy working as part of a team, including giving and receiving feedback.

What the job involves

• Paid internship, 10 weeks summer 2027
• Why this role exists: To give people heading into their final year of university the chance to spend summer 2027 as a full member of one of our product teams, building software that database professionals around the world rely on.
• You’ll join a product team as a full member, working on the same things as everyone else, not on a side project in a corner.
• You’ll work in a team that cares about craft, collaboration, and quality.
• There’s real support to grow, with your own intern manager for feedback and a buddy for everything else, plus protected time every week to learn and develop skills.
• For 10 weeks, you’ll work alongside our engineers on real software, shipping features that real customers use. You’ll be part of the day-to-day life of the team, with the support and room to learn what a first role in software deserves.
• Pair with engineers, get your code reviewed (and review theirs), and take part in standups, planning and retros.
• Work on the same things as everyone else, using the same tools, including AI tools like Claude.
• Spend every Friday afternoon (10% of your time) on learning, whether that’s lightning talks, a community of practice or building something of your own.
• Last year’s interns merged code in their first week, shipped a feature customers had been asking for, fixed a customer support issue, ran team standups and retros, gave a talk to the wider company, and learned C# and .NET on the job to build their own project.

“I didn’t feel like an intern, I really felt like part of the team.” - Kris Sananpanichkul, past software intern.

• Something you’re proud of: something you’ve built, fixed or figured out. It could be a uni project, a side project, a game mod, a Discord bot or a tricky bug. It all counts.
• What you want from this: what you hope to learn or get out of the internship.
• Your application will be reviewed by a person. We don’t use AI or automated tools to assess applications. Every profile is read by one of our Talent Partners.
