[RTC] Intern AI-Driven Software Engineer

Software Mind develops solutions that make an impact for companies around the globe. Tech giants & unicorns, transformative projects, emerging technologies and limitless opportunities – these are a few words that describe an average day for us. Building cross-functional engineering teams that take ownership and crave more means we’re always on the lookout for talented people who bring passion and creativity to every project. Our culture embraces openness, acts with respect, shows grit & guts and combines employment with enjoyment.

Project – the aim you’ll have

You will join an agile, international team of experienced developers and testers (Poland/UK) working on a strategic transformation of the IT ecosystem for a leading travel industry company. The main goal is designing and building modern, scalable solutions from scratch to replace outdated systems using best engineering practices.

Position – how you’ll contribute

We are looking for a growth-oriented intern or junior .NET developer who already has solid C# basics and genuinely wants to learn. We welcome a proactive mindset, where you treat AI as an everyday coding buddy that helps you debug, research, and learn faster – not as a "magic button" that does the thinking for you. If you are ready to take ownership of your tasks, want to understand how your code works under the hood, and are excited to solve real business puzzles in a relaxed, no-nonsense engineering culture, you’ll fit right in.

Your daily tasks will include:

Developing backend tasks in .NET, maintaining APIs, and assisting with system integrations

Writing clean, testable code and creating unit tests with mentor support

Utilizing AI tools consciously for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and technical research

Participating in code reviews, internal workshops, technical demos, and analyzing bugs/logs

Collaborating closely with experienced developers and verifying AI-generated solutions before implementation

Expectations – the experience you need

Practical knowledge of C# and willingness to grow within the .NET / ASP.NET Core ecosystem

Hands-on experience demonstrated through personal projects, a GitHub profile, or commercial exposure

Basic understanding of backend development, Web API, Entity Framework, and databases

Working knowledge of Git and the ability to read and improve existing code

Practical skills in leveraging AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Gemini) for debugging, research, and automation

Good understanding of AI limitations, including hallucinations, data security, privacy, and the necessity of verification

English proficiency at a B2 level or higher

Strong communication skills, independence, curiosity, and readiness to receive constructive feedback

Additional skills – the edge you have

Active GitHub profile or a portfolio of post-hours applications

Basic knowledge of SQL and database optimization

First experience with writing unit tests

Strong interest in work automation and productivity tools

Mindset focused on continuous self-development and problem-solving

What does the recruitment process look like?

During the interview, we will want to see how you think, solve problems, and use AI. You can expect a technical conversation and practical questions about .NET, C#, APIs, and AI tools.

We will look not only at the result, but also at your way of working:

how you analyse a problem

how you formulate questions for AI

how you verify answers

what you accept

what you reject

how you explain your technical decisions
