Software Developer Intern
Internship Cape Town, South Africa Mulckhuyse ConsultingAccepting applications
We are looking for an ambitious Software Developer Intern. This is not an internship where you watch other developers work. From early on you will contribute to real software that clients and our own team use every day, and you will learn by building production systems alongside experienced developers.
We are a small team, so you will see the whole lifecycle: understanding a business problem, designing a solution, writing the code, testing it, deploying it and supporting it once it is live.
You will work on real systems including
- Web applications
- Internal business systems
- APIs
- Databases
- Integrations
- Automation
- ERP and business software
- AI-assisted systems
- Client projects
Who this suits
- Computer Science students or graduates
- Software Engineering students or graduates
- IT students or graduates
- Junior developers
- Strong self-taught developers
What we are looking for
- Evidence that you build things: a project, a GitHub profile, a portfolio or something you made because you wanted to.
- Working familiarity with at least one programming language and a willingness to learn others quickly.
- Curiosity about how businesses run and how software can make them run better.
- The habit of understanding code, including code produced with AI tools, rather than just generating it.
- Clear written communication. You will be explaining your work to the team and sometimes to clients.
Compensation and growth
- Competitive salary
- 3-month probation period
- Strong salary increase following successful probation, based on performance
- Hands-on commercial experience
- Mentorship
- Opportunity for long-term employment
- Significant opportunity for progression
