About the Role

Are you a passionate learner looking to dive into the world of modern software development? If you're excited about exploring new technologies and growing your skills, we invite you to join us as a Software Engineering Intern. No prior professional experience is required — just your enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to learn!

As part of our Onboarding Squad, you’ll contribute directly to sprint-to-sprint deliverables while enhancing our internal documentation, development standards, and supporting tools. You will also gain valuable experience working with real-world distributed systems, including microservices, containerization, and both synchronous and asynchronous processing.

Your contributions will have a tangible impact across teams at StashAway, making a difference in how we build, document, and scale.

• Contribute to squad sprint deliverables including minor feature development, bug fixes, and technical improvements.

• Collaborate with teams to update, write, and improve OpenAPI specifications and project READMEs.

• Assist in project maintenance tasks such as dependency/package version bumps and general upkeep.

• Perform bug fixing and minor tech debt cleanup activities.

• Write or update internal documentation and support efforts to streamline project onboarding.

• Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning sessions, and retrospectives.

• Engage actively with mentors and peers to learn best practices and engineering standards.

Sample of Tasks You May Work On

• Writing and improving project READMEs and internal onboarding guides.

• Maintaining project dependencies by updating and managing package versions.

• Bug fixing low to medium complexity issues within the squad’s codebases.

• Cleaning up technical debt and improving code quality on existing services.

• Supporting project documentation and tech standards initiatives across squads.

Requirements

• Familiarity with TypeScript and JavaScript (ability to read and write basic code).

• Basic working knowledge of Git (e.g., cloning repositories, branching, committing, pull requests).

• Strong passion for learning and growing in a fast-paced, team environment.

• Familiarity with HTTP concepts and methods (GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE).

• Preferably in the final year of study or recently graduated in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

Good to Have

• Online portfolio such as a GitHub or GitLab profile showcasing personal, academic, or open-source projects.

• Understanding of OpenAPI specifications.

• Prior experience working with documentation, project maintenance, or contributions to public/private repositories.

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world experience contributing to production-quality systems and internal tools.

• Practical exposure to modern distributed architectures, microservices, containerization, and API-driven development.

• Strong understanding of agile software delivery and team collaboration practices.

• Mentorship from experienced engineers and engineering leaders in a high-growth fintech environment.
