Winter Software Developer Internship – 2023

Description

Electrum is a fast-paced financial technology company that works with leading banks, retailers, telcos, and other businesses to process high-volume, low-value transactions.

Since 2012, we have been led by some of South Africa’s most experienced payments experts. As a vibrant and innovative technology company, we deliver industry-leading expertise and solutions for everyday payment problems.

We love that the projects we work on touch the lives of millions of South Africans every day, making a real difference – whether that’s giving an aspiring businesswoman access to banking for the first time, or distributing government financial aid to thousands of students.

Our values underpin everything we do, from building great software, to nurturing strong partnerships, to supporting our customer’s mission. Based on a strong foundation of keeping customers and staff top of mind, the high-functioning team at Electrum is growing and placing us on track to become the top payments processing software provider for the region’s leading financial services organisations.

The Electrum Internship Program:

We run two four-week programmes a year in the winter (June/July) and summer (January) university holidays. It’s a paid, in-office programme that may lead to a permanent position, depending on company needs and the right fit.

As part of the team at Electrum, you get:

  • to be involved in the full life cycle of our projects;
  • professional training and on-the-job learning;
  • mentorship from industry experts;
  • a workplace with an innovative office culture;
  • to work on real customer problems;
  • access to extensive career growth opportunities;
  • valuable work experience in a real FinTech environment, where you get to work on real projects.

Requirements

  • Computer Science, Engineering, Maths or Physics student in either their 2nd, 3rd or Honours year (preference is given to Honours and 3rd year students).
  • A minimum average of 65% for all modules.
  • Experience working with Java at university or from personal projects.
  • Understanding fundamentals of object-oriented programming.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills.

Benefits

We have created an high-performance culture where you can expect:

  • Career growth: Delivering world-class financial services software products in a fast-paced company is not easy, and it takes an insane amount of effort. But in return for your effort you’ll get hands-on experience working on products that are used by millions of people, and a high quality work experience that will accelerate your career faster than anywhere else.
  • Transparency: We openly discuss strategy, finances, salaries and other major decisions.
  • Autonomy: We know you’ll be able to make good decisions if you have good information, and we trust you.
  • Work-life balance: You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a hike or coffee shop with a view, but you also know when your team needs help to bring that strategic deliverable home. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve that time out, and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done.

These are few practical ways we practice the culture we are so proud of:

  • Flexible work hours.
  • Onsite gym and shower facilities.
  • Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the afternoon nibbles.
  • Team socialising like hikes, getaways, and dinners.
  • A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year.
  • A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and an Oculus.
  • Fatsaks scattered around the office for deep thinking or meditation.
