Job description

About this role

Our frontend team is looking for an engineering intern to improve Sarwa’s internal tooling, design system, and test coverage. This hands‑on internship will involve working on real internal products that make the engineering team faster and more effective – from improving build pipelines and visualizing metrics, to connecting the Figma design system to code and writing integration tests with Maestro. You will be mentored by our frontend engineers and gain practical experience building tools and components used daily across the team.

Who we’re looking for

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

• Foundational experience with React and TypeScript (personal projects, coursework, or prior internships count).

• Understanding of modern frontend fundamentals: component architecture, state management, and responsive design.

• Empathy for developers and internal users – you think about the people who will use what you build.

• Self‑directed and comfortable taking ownership of a task from start to finish.

• Strong attention to detail, especially for UI consistency and code quality.

• Curious about design systems, developer experience, and testing best practices.

• Clear communication and enjoyment of collaborating with designers, engineers, and product managers.

What you’ll do

• Improve internal tooling: enhance build pipelines and help visualize engineering metrics.

• Expand technical documentation by covering patterns and best practices used across the frontend codebase.

• Help build and connect the Figma Code Connect integration for the new component library.

• Write integration tests for existing screens using Maestro, improving confidence in releases.

• Contribute to the design system and component library to ensure consistency across Sarwa’s products.

• Collaborate with designers and backend engineers to deliver polished, user‑facing improvements.

• Participate in code reviews, sprint ceremonies, and team discussions.

Technical Stack – Experience in these (or similar) is a plus

• React and TypeScript

• Figma (Code Connect)

• Maestro (integration testing)

• Build tooling (Vite, Webpack, or similar)

• Git and CI/CD pipelines

• Design systems and component libraries

Benefits

• Remote‑first and flexible work environment.

• Diverse, driven, and supportive team with a positive work atmosphere.

• A culture of growth – being mentored, coached, and supported to grow in your career.

• Monthly stipend.

Sarwa is dedicated to hiring a diverse workforce with varied experiences, perspectives and opinions. We believe diversity helps our team excel and enables us to build outstanding products for our customers.
