Software Interns 2015 (10 weeks)

“I think as an intern it's great to know that you're actually doing useful stuff and haven't just been pushed to the side – this is why Red Gate stood out for me.”
Tom Smith, Software Engineer and past intern

Red Gate aspires to be the best place you’ll ever work, let alone intern. We’ll value you as a full member of the team from the moment you walk through our doors. Fetching coffee is a great skill, but we prefer coding.

As a fully-fledged member of one of our development teams, you will work on real features and get the opportunity to see it all through to the very end, so you know you’ve made a real difference. As a result, you’ll experience how our development teams go about creating software, including the design, implementation, and testing of features.

Interns work in small teams with software engineers, testers, usability experts, and technical authors to create elegant commercial software; teamwork is very important to us. You will have a dedicated mentor to help you through your internship, answer any questions, and make sure you have a great time.

Red Gate is proud to be independently recognised as Cambridge’s best workplace as well as an award-winning software provider - we aspire to be the best place you’ve ever worked. To apply, simply upload your CV and covering letter or get in touch if you’d like to talk to us first.

What we’ll offer you

  • A chance to work with an experienced development team.
  • We’ll help you bridge the gap between coding simple functions to engineering software that ships to thousands of customers.
  • We’ll help develop you into a software artisan, shaping requirements and estimates, writing great code and shipping features.
  • We’ll cultivate your technical knowledge with design patterns, test-driven development, peer-review, code katas and more.

  • You’ll receive £380 per week.
  • You’ll start in June or July for a minimum of ten weeks over the summer holiday.
