Responsibilities
- Working alongside engineers on real features and tickets — the kind that end up in production
- Getting hands-on with internal tooling and projects that the team depends on
- Attending standups, sprint planning, code reviews — the full rhythm of an engineering team
- Asking questions, breaking things (safely), and learning how a fintech scales
Requirements
- You're studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, or something adjacent at University of Malta or MCAST
- You're genuinely curious about how software is built — not just in theory, but in practice
- You can write some code (in any language — we care more about thinking than syntax)
- You want to be part of something, not just observe it
What you'll walk away with:
- Real lines of code in a production fintech system
- An understanding of how engineering teams actually work — agile, CI/CD, code reviews, the works
- A network inside a global payments company
- Honestly? A much stronger CV than most of your classmates
