The Short Version

We’re on the lookout for two creative and energetic Software Developer Interns to join our fast-growing software start-up success story.

If you love bringing ideas to life through awesome code and want to make a real impact in a close-knit, high-performing team — this is your opportunity.

At SquaredUp, you’ll help shape our products, technology, and development path. You’ll work as part of a lean, multi-skilled team where your contributions will be seen and felt from day one.

And we’re only just getting started on our mission to unlock the power of data for everyone.

What really makes SquaredUp special is our people and our values. We’re a generous, fun-loving team of bright sparks, powered by Integrity, Passion, and Togetherness.

As a remote-first company operating across the UK and US, we’re proud to have been ranked as one of the Best UK Tech Companies by Great Place to Work — and we live and breathe our values every day.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to build, test, and maintain our scalable, API-driven architecture — producing clean, well-documented, and well-tested code.
