Jun. – Sept. 2026

Software Engineering Intern

DitchCarbon · Remote / London, England

  • Shipping production fixes across the company’s internal platforms using a Ruby on Rails, TypeScript and GraphQL stack in a Docker-based environment, working in two-week sprints.
  • Built a one-click admin control that deep-links staff straight to a team in the user-facing portal, saving ~10 seconds per lookup across hundreds of operations run weekly.
  • Added a reusable case-insensitive ordering scope to the portal’s team-switcher (previously insertion-ordered), giving sorted output and noticeably more polished CEO client demos.
