8 week placement - July to August 2027

Our mission

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Our mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world

• We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, the landlord, and the tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution

• Like all scale-ups it's been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we're now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 350+ Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission!

The Opportunity

• Develop your programming knowledge further by solving real-world problems using PHP, Python, C# and/or Typescript

• Deliver features that will affect 1 out of 4 tenants and thousands of estate agents in the UK

• Experience first-hand what the engineering process is like in a growing business

• Be mentored by top-class engineers on the first steps in your career.

• Get paid up to £40,000 (pro-rated)

What we need from you

• Be in the penultimate year of a computer science or related degree

• Be comfortable coding in a language of your choice and open to learning new ones

• Be keen to see your work have a real world impact.
