Get to know our Engineering team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.

You’ll be joining a high-impact engineering squad within our London headquarters. Our interns aren't stuck on the sidelines; you'll work on the same challenges as our full-time engineers, supported by a dedicated mentor to help you navigate our tech stack and culture.

• Prior Experience: At least one previous Software Engineering internship or relevant technical placement.

• Project Work: Participation in hackathons, technical research, open-source contributions, or leadership roles in campus technical societies.

• System Design: An interest in or exposure to service-oriented architecture, APIs, or system monitoring and continuous integration.

We’ll share details on how to request support so we can ensure you have a fair and equitable experience.
