Software Engineer Intern

Description

6 months or internship contract, full-time or part-time.

Milan, Corso Como 15. It’s fine if you prefer to work remotely sometimes. We offer substantial support for relocation, including finding an apartment in Milan and paying the rent for twelve weeks.

Generous, top of market, and matching your skills and potential. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are paid-for, when you work from the office. You’ll receive the latest Mac, iPhone, and wireless noise-cancelling Bose headset, as well as any software you might need to perform at your best.

With tens of millions of active users, our apps already make us the only European company among the top 10 App Store developers in the world. We’re not satisfied yet, however, as our objective is becoming the #1world publisher. How could software engineering not be at the very core of this enormously ambitious mission?

Join our quest to conquer all competition and learn from our Engineers how to create beautiful, strong code to automate processes, amaze users, or manage tons of data. We can’t wait to teach you all our secrets.

Your responsibilities will vary according to the team you’ll be assigned to, but you can expect to:
Constantly improve the quality of our products, tools, or infrastructures by fixing bugs and refactoring the code base where necessary.
Participate in product development for our products or tools, getting a chance of witnessing how complex product roadmaps come into being.
Work closely with our Software Engineers to expand our set of libraries and make our processes ever more efficient.
Learn about new, relevant technologies and test the promising ones to make sure we don’t miss out on game-changing opportunities to boost our productivity and the enjoyment of our work.

• Cool tech stack. We strive to use the best, most modern tools and technologies, and when they fall short of our expectations we invent our own. It’s a geek’s paradise.
