Software Engineer - Student Application

Location: London

Department: Engineering

The Role

As a Software Engineering Intern at Netcraft, you will be trusted with meaningful, production-level work from the outset. You will contribute directly to the development and enhancement of our core platforms and services, which are used by major institutions across both public and private sectors.

You will join a specialised engineering team focused on a distinct area of our technology stack. Depending on your interests and skills, your work may involve improving the scalability of our infrastructure, enhancing the performance of our anti-phishing detection systems, developing tools to monitor and analyse web vulnerabilities, or refining user interfaces for internal and external applications.

For example, you may help scale our classification system, which processes over 15 million URLs daily, or contribute to the automation of workflows that remove malicious content from the internet. You will be supported by experienced engineers - many of whom began their careers at Netcraft as interns - and benefit from a culture of open communication, mentorship, and continuous learning.

This role can be based out of our London, Bath, or Manchester offices.

What we are looking for:

We’re seeking curious, adaptable, and motivated individuals who are passionate about coding and eager to grow. You don’t need prior cybersecurity experience - just a willingness to learn.

You’ll need:

• Strong attention to detail and a solutions-focused mindset
• Demonstrable ability in imperative programming
• Interest in internet technologies, network security, data mining, or web-based UIs
• A solid academic track record
• Good communication skills and fluency in English (additional languages are a plus)
• Experience working collaboratively in teams
• A well-developed sense of caution and ability to plan for the future with suitable programming abstractions, automated test suites and version control
