We’re Hiring: Software Engineering Intern
Based in Quito, Ecuador | Hybrid About Us
Industry FinTech (IFT) is on a mission to modernize how private capital markets operate. Our technology powers how firms raise capital, engage investors, and manage operations with transparency, efficiency, and compliance. We’re headquartered in Miami with a growing team in Quito, partnering with U.S. private equity firms and investment groups. As we scale our internal platform, we are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our development team. The Role

We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to work alongside our Principal Engineer, helping build and maintain the technical backbone of IFT. You won't just be watching—you’ll be coding, documenting architecture, and solving real-world integration challenges. This is an ideal position for a student in their final semesters who has worked with Clean Code, loves Python, and wants to complete their university internship hours in a fast-paced, international environment.

What You’ll Do

Development & Integration

• Participate in the design and testing of backend services and UI interfaces for our integration platform.
• Help migrate and modernize automation workflows into versioned, testable services.

• Contribute to building integration connectors for external tools (CRMs, communication platforms, etc.).

Engineering Standards

• Join code reviews and learn to follow high-level engineering standards.
• Help maintain technical documentation, including ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and service catalogs.

• Support the configuration of development environments and CI/CD pipelines.

Thesis Research

• We provide Thesis Tracks to help you align your internship hours with your graduation requirements.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves:

• Currently enrolled in the final semesters or thesis level of Software Engineering, Computer Science, or IT. (Must be eligible for academic credit/hours).
• Fluency in technical English is essential — reading documentation and communication is a daily requirement.
• Intermediate Python (FastAPI/Flask) + SQL (PostgreSQL) and basic-to-intermediate Frontend (JS/TS + any modern framework).
• Solid foundations in Data Structures, OOP, SOLID, and Clean Code.
• Proficiency with Git, Docker, and Linux/Terminal environments.
• Ability to write unit tests and a "debug-ready" mindset.

Bonus Points For:

• Familiarity with Web Security (OWASP) or CI/CD (GitHub Actions).
• Experience with Automation tools (n8n, Zapier) or Third-party APIs

• A genuine interest in FinTech and AI/LLMs

What You’ll Get

• Validation of mandatory pre-professional internship hours.
• Direct training from senior engineers in a global fintech environment.
• Access to real-world data and expert feedback for your graduation project.
• Daily shifts designed to respect your university classes and exams.
• Top-performing interns are our first choice for full-time Junior roles upon graduation.
