Software engineer, intern

Internship Overview

In this six‑month internship, you’ll contribute to priority projects, collaborate closely with skilled teammates, and build strong foundations for your growth.

Responsibilities

• Build software that matters. Take real ownership from idea to production, creating systems used by millions and evolving them into products at scale.
• Amplify your impact with AI. Integrate powerful AI tools directly into your development workflow—design, implementation, testing, and documentation—to move faster while maintaining high standards for correctness, reliability, and maintainability.
• Master your toolkit. Work across diverse stacks with end‑to‑end ownership, choosing the right technologies for each challenge. From monoliths to microservices, gRPC to REST, Kubernetes to Docker, Python to Rust—you’ll apply technologies thoughtfully, focusing on depth and purpose rather than trends.
• Simplify relentlessly. Question every layer of complexity. Improve architectures, pipelines, and codebases to build systems that are simpler, more scalable, and easier to maintain.

Qualifications

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, structure your ideas sharply, resist biases, and focus on details that matter.
• Drive. You are extremely ambitious in everything you do, and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work and hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without expectation of return, support the best idea, and happily get your hands dirty to help your team. You are reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak English proficiently.

Benefits

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. Work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We prioritize individuals of outstanding potential and place them in roles where they can thrive. Spooners in their 20s lead products worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
• Competitive pay and equity. Typical salaries range from £85,797 (London) to £112,189–£250,512 for experienced candidates; elsewhere in Europe €66,065 to €107,837–€188,848. Compensation grows rapidly with impact. Permanent contracts may include company equity at a discounted price and potential tax benefits when relocating to Italy.
• All. These. Benefits. Flexible hours, remote working, unlimited training support, top‑of‑the‑market health insurance, relocation package, parental support, and yearly retreats.
• A flexible start date and part‑time options. Begin part‑time while completing your degree and transition to full‑time as you graduate.
