Software Engineering Internship - Tampere 2027

Location: Tampere

Department: Engineering

Scandit Tampere

Scandit gives people superpowers. Whether enabling delivery drivers to make quicker deliveries, matching a patient with their medication, or allowing retailers to make store operations more efficient, our technology automates workflows. It provides actionable insights to help businesses in a variety of industries. Join us as we continue to expand, grow, innovate, and help take Scandit to the next level.

You will join the team behind the platforms the rest of Scandit runs on: how customers' usage of our products gets tracked and turned into analytics, the internal dashboards and services our teams use every day, and the data and tooling that keep our machine learning work moving. We are a small, senior, full-stack team in Tampere, and the work is deliberately broad. Backend services, web frontends, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure and developer tooling all sit with us.

For a first job in software, that breadth is worth a lot. You will pick up real tickets from the same board as everyone else, ship them to production, and see them used inside the company within days.

If that sounds like the way you want to start your career, we'd love to hear from you!

About the role

As a Software Engineering Intern you work as a full member of the team, with a mentor alongside you and regular 1:1s with the Engineering Manager. You will start on well-scoped, self-contained tasks and take on larger and more complex ones as you find your feet.

Because our remit covers several systems, we will shape the work around what you are curious about and what the team needs at the time. Over an internship you might touch a Python backend, a TypeScript dashboard, an analytics pipeline, a CI workflow, and the tooling our ML engineers rely on. Nobody arrives knowing all of that. What we ask is that you are willing to learn any of it.

What you will do

• Work independently using AI-native approach to software development
• Build and extend backend services and APIs that other teams inside Scandit depend on
• Work on the internal dashboards and analytics tools that our business users rely on every day 
• Help keep our analytics data pipelines healthy and our reporting accurate
• Write tests and improve our automation, so the team can ship with confidence
• Take part in the team's normal rhythm: sprint planning, code review, retros, and demos
• Investigate a problem nobody has looked at yet and come back with a recommendation

Our tech stack

You will not use all of this, and you do not need to know any of it before you start:

• Python (Django, FastAPI)
• TypeScript / React
• Postgres, ClickHouse, BigQuery
• GCP and AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
• GitLab and GitLab CI
• AI coding tools - Cursor and Claude Code

Who you are

We are looking for a student or graduate who wants to build software for real users and is comfortable saying "I don't know that yet, let me find out." What you have already built counts for more here than which courses you have passed, and a curious generalist will do better with us than a specialist in any one of the things above.

• You are a self-starter and eager to learn our technical stack and business domain
• Can program confidently in at least one general-purpose language, and are not afraid to pick up another
• Have built something outside of coursework: a side project, an open source contribution, a hackathon entry, a previous internship
• Are comfortable with the basics of version control, code review and the command line
• Are organized enough to work with a distributed team, and will ask for help before you are stuck for a day
• Are eligible to work in Finland for the duration of the internship

Nice to have

• Any exposure to web development, cloud services, databases, or data pipelines
• Familiarity with testing and CI/CD
• An interest in machine learning tooling and the infrastructure around it

What we offer

• A highly skilled team and a fun environment where you can put your enthusiasm for cutting-edge technologies to use
• A paid internship, with a mentor on the team and a manager who has time for you
