Software Engineering Internship

Salary Competitive

Puppet is looking for software engineering interns to join us! In this role, you'll be an integral part of the team, doing the kind of work we all do while learning from experienced developers on the team. We'll personalise the workload for you, to make sure you learn and grow as much as you can.


You'll get to pair regularly with a team member on tasks and always be able to ask questions and receive advice, but you'll also get the chance to work on tasks independently when you're ready. You'll receive feedback on work and plenty of chances to grow and improve, all to get you ready for a career in software development.


As an intern at Puppet, you will:

- Have the opportunity to contribute to the core team projects.

- Learn and use new technologies while working on fun projects. Day to day, you will code in languages such as Golang, Ruby, React and other languages and tools.

- Have the opportunity to engage with the open-source community.


Criteria for invitation to interview:

- Undergraduate in one of the following degree courses; Computer Science, Computing Technologies, Software Engineering, Information and Communications Technology or Business Information Technology, and due to graduate in Summer 2022.

- Available to start work in September 2020.

- Have the right to work in the UK

- A minimum of 60% average across modules taken to date.

- Object Oriented programming experience may be an advantage.

- Scripting (programming in Ruby, Python, Perl, bash) experience may be an advantage.

- A link to your git profile to demonstrate software projects you have worked on


What valuable experience and skills will you bring to the table?

- Experience solving problems with programming and troubleshooting code.

- Experience using source code management tools.

- Familiarity with any programming language, and the ability to understand and discuss different implementation tradeoffs.

- General knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and programming paradigms will be helpful, but we don't expect you to be an expert.

- Skilled at collaborating with others and using their feedback to improve.

- Willing to try new things, adapt, and ask for help when needed.

- Capacity and drive to learn.

Please tailor your CV to demonstrate how you meet the above criteria. Closing date is 5 November, 2019.

Puppet

We created the industry standard for managing infrastructure as code. And we didn’t stop there. Our product portfolio has grown to help organisations automate across their entire software delivery lifecycle. Today more than 40,000 organisations — including more than 75 of the Fortune 100 — use Puppet’s products to deliver better software, faster. Today, software is everywhere. It’s on our wrists, on our walls, and in our cars. It’s changed the way we shop, the way we work, the way we heal, and the way we stay connected to those we love. Yet we also know there is no future with fewer servers. Software is only getting more complex, evolving faster than humans can keep pace. How can we benefit from future innovation if it takes too long or costs too much to implement it? It’s time to fundamentally improve the way we do things so we can change without constraint. Puppet is leading the movement that will define the future of software. Today it’s characterised by the general realisation that for companies to remain relevant, they have to constantly provide great software to their users. Tomorrow it’s defined by a world of frictionless software change – where any company can deliver a better experience to their users, at any moment. We’re building a world of unconstrained software change. Where the software that powers everything around us is always available, is constantly modern, and accessible from anywhere. We’re Puppet, and we hope you’ll join us.
