The intern will participate and be mentored in software development and engineering within an Agile development environment to add new software features to our company software products and applications. Software features will be based on a product roadmap and customer requests, including investigation and implementation of new data analytics and intelligence analysis algorithms. The work will contribute directly to solutions delivered to end users. Tasks include software design, data analysis, implementation, testing and review as a valued member of our product team.
A key outcome for interns is that they learn valuable software engineering skills, best practice in software development and become passionate about building quality software and their own professional development.
Technical skills:
Software development with Java (or similar object-oriented languages), and experience with web front-end technologies and JavaScript frameworks such as React.js.
Familiarity and experience with virtualisation (e.g., docker), cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) and database technologies (e.g., SQL) is desirable.
Familiarity and experience with data science or artificial intelligence tools, techniques and approaches also desirable.
Intern interpersonal qualities:
The ideal intern will be an enthusiastic team member and proactive, and one who enjoys solving problems and coding.
Our company also values those that are committed to learning and with good communication skills.
