Descripción del empleo

We are hiring early-career software engineers who are eager to launch their professional journey in technology.

As an early-career engineer, you won’t be working on simulations or academic exercises — you’ll contribute to real products used by real users in real environments.

This role is ideal for final-year students who want hands‑on experience building real‑world systems while learning from experienced engineers. You will work as part of an Agile team, contribute to production code, and grow into a strong, well‑rounded engineer through practical experience and mentorship.

This is a hands‑on engineering role. From day one, you will design, build, test, and improve software that runs in real environments.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain features within production systems
• Translate business requirements into clean, structured, maintainable code
• Participate in sprint planning, daily stand‑ups, and agile ceremonies
• Understand epics and user stories, asking questions to clarify requirements
• Contribute to technical discussions and solution brainstorming sessions
• Help break down features into clear technical tasks
• Apply Object‑Oriented Programming (OOP) and clean code principles
• Write unit tests and validate your own implementations
• Develop with an end‑to‑end mindset (E2E ownership of features)
• Debug issues and improve existing functionality
• Participate in peer code reviews and receive constructive feedback
• Use Git and collaborative development workflows
• Work with tools like Jira, Confluence, and other collaboration platforms
• Follow engineering standards and best practices
• Support deployments across development and QA environments
• Contribute to technical and functional documentation
• Collaborate with global teams in English
• Continuously strengthen your technical skillset and learn new technologies

You will also gain exposure to:

• Code quality practices (static analysis, performance awareness)
• How software moves from development to production

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Are curious and enjoy solving problems through code
• Want to build real products, not just complete assignments
• Are open to learning new languages and technologies
• Enjoy collaborating and asking questions
• Take ownership of your work and care about quality
• Want to grow into a full‑stack, production‑ready engineer

Technical Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (or final‑year student) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
• English proficiency (B2 or higher – written and spoken)
• Clear understanding of core programming concepts: control flow, functions, modularity, and common data structures
• Ability to break down problems, design logical solutions, and implement them independently
• Understanding of basic software development practices (version control, testing mindset, debugging)
• Attention to code quality and detail

Nice to Have

• Experience with a backend framework
• Basic understanding of relational or NoSQL databases
• Familiarity with Git workflows
• Basic understanding of CI/CD concepts
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Awareness of DevOps practices

AI Exposure (Plus)

• Experimented with AI tools or APIs (e.g., OpenAI or similar services)
• Built small AI‑powered applications
• Interest in how AI is influencing modern software engineering

Education

Final‑year student in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.

Availability Requirement

• Full‑time availability is required (40 hours per week)
• Working schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Colombia time)
• Candidates must be final‑year students and formally validated by their university to complete their professional internship (práctica profesional) during the second semester of 2026.
