About the Role

As a Software Engineering Intern, you will join us to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry impact. You will work alongside a dedicated mentor and a team of experienced engineers to contribute to projects that support our international expansion. Rather than just watching from the sidelines, you will work on real-world features, helping to adapt our platform for diverse regions while building a world-class technical foundation.

This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate who is curious, eager to learn, and passionate about global education. You will focus on building clean code, understanding scalable architecture, and learning how a global product operates at scale.

•
Contribute & Build: Work on defined projects and bug fixes across our full stack, gaining hands-on experience with React.js/Next.js on the frontend and Java/Kotlin on the backend.

•
Learn from Mentors: Partner with a dedicated mentor to understand technical requirements, design patterns, and how to navigate a large-scale codebase.

•
Focus on Quality: Learn the importance of the "Definition of Done" by writing unit and integration tests for every piece of code you ship.

•
Shadow & Participate: Join agile rituals like daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to see how high-performing engineering teams collaborate.

•
Code Reviews: Participate in the peer review process, receiving constructive feedback on your code and learning to review the work of others.

What we’re looking for

•
Educational Background: Currently a 3rd-year student or pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

•
Foundational Knowledge: A strong understanding of Computer Science fundamentals (Data Structures, Algorithms, and Object-Oriented Programming).

•
Tech Curiosity: Experience with (or a strong desire to learn) Javascript/React and Java or similar backend languages.

•
Collaborative Mindset: A proactive communicator who isn’t afraid to ask questions when they are stuck.

•
Mission-Driven: A genuine interest in globalization and making education accessible to learners regardless of their language or location.

Why work here?

You’ll grow here.
Learning is part of the job. You’ll get full access to Udemy courses, a monthly UDay to invest in yourself, and a budget to spend on whatever helps you improve. Many people are diving into AI lately, but what you focus on is up to you.

AI is real here.
We use it in the way we learn and the way we work. You’ll have the space and tools to experiment, apply, and get better at using AI in practical ways.

You’ll own your work.
We trust people to lead, make decisions, and follow through. You don’t need to wait for permission or layers of approval to have an impact.

You’ll build with others.
We collaborate openly and shape ideas together. Everyone has a voice, and good thinking is welcomed from any direction.

You’ll see your impact.
What you build helps people grow their skills, change their careers, or find a path forward. You’ve got the experience, why not use it to help others gain theirs?

Bring your curiosity. We’ll bring the platform and the support. Let’s LEARN together.
