Software Engineer Intern

**Software Engineering Intern** **Location:** Remote / Hybrid **Job Type:** Internship (Software Engineering) **About the Role** North Sails designs and builds sails for everything from club racers to America’s Cup boats and Ultim trimarans. Behind every victory on the water sits a dedicated software team building the proprietary design and engineering tools that make it possible. We are looking for a **Software Engineering Intern** to build and launch a real internal tool from concept to production. You will deliver a high-impact application with real users, a real deadline, and full support from our engineering team. **The Project** Sail graphics are currently quoted through a legacy tool embedded in an ageing application. You will rebuild this system in **React and C#** as an integrated module within our new manufacturing platform covering orders, quoting, and invoicing. Because the core platform already handles authentication, you will inherit a working single sign-on (SSO) system and jump straight into feature development. **Core Deliverables:** * **Database Design:** Stand up a schema within our existing database architecture. * **Security & Access:** Implement role-based access control (RBAC) on top of the platform’s existing SSO. * **Data Integration:** Populate order data via API calls to existing internal systems. * **Pricing Engine:** Implement complex pricing formulae and create an admin interface to maintain them. * **Document Generation:** Generate PDF quotes and track them through the approval process. * **Stretch Goal:** Extend the platform to generate PDF work tickets carrying manufacturing instructions to the shop floor. **Why This Internship Is Different** * **Direct User Impact:** The user base is small and highly accessible. You will sit directly with the people who use the tool, gather requirements yourself, and deploy code to production not a sandbox. * **Mentorship & Team Culture:** You will receive continuous support, including code reviews, regular check-ins, and hands-on guidance from experienced engineers. **What We Are Looking For** * **Education & Eligibility Requirements:** Enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program throughout the internship. Open to Italian residents with a valid *Codice Fiscale* and, for non-EU nationals, a valid *Permesso di Soggiorno* . * **Technical Exposure:** Familiarity with **React, C#, SQL** , and **cloud platforms** is a plus, but attitude matters more than experience. * **Ownership Mindset:** Someone who asks questions, chases down requirements, and takes end-to-end ownership of their work. * **AI-Assisted Engineering:** Comfortable using modern AI coding tools and equally comfortable explaining, defending, and understanding every line of code you ship. **What You Will Learn** * Modern AI-assisted software development and how to identify tool limitations. * **Azure cloud services** and deployment pipelines using **Azure DevOps (CI/CD)** . * End-to-end requirements gathering with real internal business stakeholders. * Professional engineering best practices: git workflows, code review, testing, and release management.
