Software Engineer Intern

Role Overview

You will work on CultureMonkey's core product: an employee engagement platform used by HR teams across 100+ countries. This is not a shadowing-only internship.

• Debug issues with guidance from senior developers
• Review pull requests and address review comments
• Write or update project documentation
• Run the application locally, test changes, and report issues
• Learn Git workflows (branching, commits, pull requests, rebasing)
• Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives

Requirements

• Solid fundamentals in any programming language (Ruby, Python, Java, Go, JavaScript, C++)
• Comfortable with SQL and relational data modelling
