Project – the aim you’ll have

Join a dedicated team of Polish and British developers, testers, DevOps engineers, Data Engineers, Project Managers, and Scrum Masters building innovative document management software to advance clinical research.
We’ve partnered with our client for years, working on a trust-based, collaborative model. Our work spans development (.NET, C#, React), automation (Playwright), and DevOps (Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform), with a strong culture of knowledge sharing and teamwork.

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

At least 1 year of commercial experience
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
