Software Engineering Intern

Software Engineering Intern - Payments & Processing 💙

Ever wondered what actually happens behind the screen when you send money to a friend or tap to pay in a store? Here’s your chance to find out - and help build it!

As an engineering intern in our Payments & Processing area in Aarhus, you’ll join the engine room behind Vipps and MobilePay. You won’t just be shadowing from the sidelines; you’ll write real code, tackle real engineering challenges, and ship features to production that impact millions of users across the Nordics every single day.

You’ll experience the entire software development lifecycle - from designing and coding to automated testing, deployment, and monitoring in production. Backed by experienced mentors and a dedicated buddy, you’ll get the ideal launchpad to kickstart your career as a software engineer.

What You’ll Do 🚀

You’ll work directly with our engineering teams on core payment solutions that make digital transactions simple, reliable, and secure:

• Build and ship production code: Design, develop, and deploy features across our core payment systems and transaction flows.
• Explore modern architecture: Work with distributed backend services, high-availability APIs, and scalable infrastructure.
• Master the full development cycle: Write clean code, craft automated tests, and participate in code reviews and CI/CD deployment routines.
• Solve real-world reliability challenges: Help ensure millions of daily transactions go through smoothly without hiccups.
• Collaborate and learn: Work alongside seasoned software engineers, architects, and product managers who are eager to share their craft.

What You Bring 💡

We care far more about your curiosity, problem-solving mindset, and passion for software development than an extensive résumé:

• Curiosity & passion for coding: You enjoy building software, exploring how things work under the hood, and learning new tools and concepts.
• Educational background: You are currently studying Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and are looking for an internship in Spring 2027.
• Eagerness to ask questions: You’re comfortable speaking up when you’re curious, need help, or want to explore a new idea.
• A collaborative mindset: You enjoy teamwork, sharing knowledge, and learning alongside others.
• A "no worries" attitude: You aren't afraid of making mistakes - we see them as the best opportunities to learn and grow together.

What We Offer ✨

We provide a welcoming, high-trust environment where you can develop your technical skills while having a lot of fun along the way:

• A dedicated buddy and mentor: Continuous 1-on-1 support and feedback from experienced engineers from day one.
• Real ownership from day one: Hands-on experience with production systems - you are a valued team member, not "just an intern."
• A supportive and informal culture: A Nordic workplace with flat hierarchies, psychological safety, and lots of social rituals.
• Modern tools and tech: The opportunity to work with cutting-edge tools, cloud tech, and best-in-class developer practices.

Across our Payments & Processing area, we work on some pretty important stuff:

• Payment Engine – The engine behind our payments, orchestrating payment flows and making sure everything works together.
• Card Payments – Connecting payment cards and payment providers, enabling secure and seamless card payments.
• Payment Sources – Managing the cards, bank accounts and other funding sources people use to pay.
• Card Issuing – Building the technology that enables Vipps MobilePay to issue its own payment cards.

We work at the intersection of software engineering, payments and security—because when you're handling people's money, quality and reliability really matter.

Practical Details 🎯

• Location: Our office in Aarhus.
• Timing: Spring semester 2027 (exact start and end dates aligned with your university schedule).
• Compensation: Paid internship following IDA guidelines

We know that great engineers come from all kinds of backgrounds. If you are excited about fintech and love to code, we’d love to hear from you—even if you don't tick every single box!
