You will work on real systems including Web applications Internal business systems APIs Databases Integrations Automation ERP and business software AI-assisted systems Client projects Who this suits Computer Science students or graduates Software Engineering students or graduates IT students or graduates Junior developers Strong self-taught developers What we are looking for Evidence that you build things: a project, a GitHub profile, a portfolio or something you made because you wanted to. Working familiarity with at least one programming language and a willingness to learn others quickly. Curiosity about how businesses run and how software can make them run better. The habit of understanding code, including code produced with AI tools, rather than just generating it. Clear written communication. You will be explaining your work to the team and sometimes to clients.
