Siftware is looking to employ a paid intern for a minimum 3-6 month period with the potential for longer if things go well.

Are you someone who can already code and prove a keen interest in web technologies, but you maybe lack commercial experience?

Relevant experience and qualifications are a bonus, but most important is a great work ethic and a desire to learn and get useful experience.

Predominantly working from home (we’ll give you a laptop), you’ll be performing various duties and interacting daily with our 10-strong team spread out around the UK, and further afield.

Most importantly, you need to be local to our office in Llanrhaeder-ym-Mochnant, no more than 20 minutes drive, as you would be having regular meetings with team members either in Oswestry or Telford.

Duties will be varied

For the role to become permanent, you would be looking to make yourself commercially useful. Preferably that would be coding in JavaScript and PHP on our client projects, but it could also end up as proficiently editing video for marketing use, or writing articles and publishing to social media. Over the first three months we’ll work together to see where your strengths lie and direct you accordingly.

We understand that lack of confidence might mean you don’t apply because you feel lack ability

We’re looking for someone who is the type to be able to figure out a new software package and get it to do what you need from the readme and Google.

Maybe you have your own website/blog that you tinker with or you’re a mod on some Discords or subreddits.

It could be that you have written some home automation scripts for a Raspberry Pie, or you manage a game server that you and your friends use.

These are all clear indicators to us that you

Pre-requisites

You must be able to show some coding abilities and preferably web related. At minimum Discord bot, college project or simple personal website, we need to see something you’ve written. An active GitHub account would be a huge bonus.

You need a room you can work in during agreed working hours without interruptions.

Nice to have

The small print

Sorry but there is zero flexibility on location. We’re looking for someone hyper-local, no more than 20 mins drive from SY10 0JG.
