Intern Software Engineer in Pamplona#

Open position (hiring for a job): An internship for students entering the software industry. Work on cross-platform mobile and web applications bringing meaningful social impact. No prior experience required. Fixed-term up to 3 months.

Why work with Posimatiq#

Social Impact is the Product#

Our company statutes state that the company can only work on products and services that can provide a meaningful social impact. It does not mean that we work on free apps for charity causes - we work on products and services that can bring something useful into the lives of ordinary people, something for which they can say "Thank you, this makes my life better". Your work will be a part of that.

Innovation is just a word, build novel products instead#

You will work directly on products and services that have not existed before. Besides trade secrets and registered industrial designs, we have several patent applications pending (EPO and PCT), which means that, yes, we work on something that no one has invented before.

(Re-)Investing in the prosperous future of the employees#

A family cannot lay off its own family members, but a typical company on a capitalist market absolutely can. So if some company says "We are family", that's a red flag.

We do not try to pretend that working in a company is the same as being a part of a family. While doing our best to be honest about the nature of the relationship between an employer and employees, we have a clearly documented goal: the company's profits shall be reinvested to keep the team working while being paid well.

Job Description#

Tasks#

As a part of our team you will help us deliver applications and systems that bring value and positive impact into users' lives. You will work on projects that span platforms (iOS, Android, and web) and combine very different disciplines and domain knowledge (fault-tolerant and real-time systems, public transportation, project management through asynchronous communications, and spatial and location-aware databases). You will work on existing products like Tomatiq ↗, as well as on new products.

Remote#

This position is fully remote, but you need to live in Spain to be hired.

Additionally, if you would like to join us for a coding session or prefer to stay among other people when working, we would be glad to accommodate you at our premises in Bilbao or in Stockholm.

Please check out our Remote Hiring Policy if you would like to know more.

Working from Pamplona#

You can work with us from Pamplona without any need to travel or to relocate.

Pamplona is affordable#

With about 209000 inhabitants, Pamplona is not as big as Madrid or Barcelona, but it is much more affordable!

As of today, it is possible to rent an apartment in the very center of Pamplona for about €850 €/month.

Pamplona is remote work-friendly#

Pamplona has everything needed to work productively in a fully remote mode: there are internet providers with affordable fiber optic plans (Movistar, O2, Orange, Jazztel, Simyo, Vodafone, Lowi, Digi, Yoigo, MásMóvil, Pepephone, Adamo).

There are also several coworking spaces to work from: iWer, Impact Hub Pamplona, Coworking Pamplona.

Pamplona is nice to live in#

Pamplona has everything for a balanced and enjoyable life: public schools and hospitals, supermarkets (Mercadona, Carrefour, Eroski, BM, Lidl, Aldi, Dia), parks, restaurants and bars, sports and fitness facilities (Ciudad Deportiva San Jorge, Aquavox San Jorge, Polideportivo Arrosadía, Altafit Pamplona, Basic-Fit Pamplona, Brooklyn Fitboxing Pamplona, VivaGym Pamplona), and trekking routes nearby (Camino de Santiago, Parque Fluvial del Arga, Monte Ezcaba).

And if you ever need to visit Zaragoza, it's just 178 km by car.

Pamplona is connected to the national railway network (Renfe: Alvia, Media Distancia).

Also, Pamplona is served by intercity buses (ALSA, La Burundesa, Conda).

Tech Stack#

Requirements#

Self-directed and autonomous systems-thinking engineer#

We are not looking for a specific "profile" with a knowledge of a certain language or a framework. Although we do require the knowledge of Elixir and Phoenix, this is not an Elixir developer position.

As we work on novel products, the best fit for our team are individuals who can use systems thinking to find, assess and learn the best tool for each task, be it a programming language, a new paradigm, or a framework.

Today we might be working on a Phoenix LiveView app but tomorrow we could discover that adding a native mobile app to it would be beneficial (for the company, the product and/or the users). We would expect that you can self-direct your learning, adapt your skills and use your systems-thinking approach to implement such an app by yourself.

Therefore, even if you don't have any knowledge of Elixir or Phoenix LiveView as of now, you can demonstrate that you are a capable self-learner by completing the required (free) courses before applying for this position.

Required Professional Experience#

0 years. This position does not require any prior experience. [RQ-E-01]

Professional Qualifications Certificate#

You shall be able to provide a certificate that confirms your knowledge of computer science and programming fundamentals such as data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development.

You can do this with a graduation certificate from your school (Intermediate/Higher Vocational Training), university (Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree) or an online course (we recommend this free course ↗).

Minimal qualifications required: Intermediate Vocational Training completed to at least 50% [RQ-Q-01]

English#

The working language at Posimatiq is English.

If you would like to apply for this position, you will need to document your proficiency in English.

Upper secondary studies completed in Spain do not meet the English requirement for this position. Even if you studied English at your upper secondary school, it is not enough to give you eligibility in regard to English.

You can demonstrate that you meet the English language requirement through certain university studies, or an internationally approved English test such as Cambridge English Qualifications, IELTS, TOEFL or similar. This position has the same documentation requirements as the documentation requirements ↗ listed by the Swedish Council for Higher Education.

Currently we accept the following certificates:

For this position the general English profficiency requirement is English B2. [RQ-ENG-01]
