Hey everyone.
I’m ABC, a 20-year-old Computer Science undergrad currently working remotely as a Software Engineer Intern at a global open-source startup.

In my current role, I’ve:

• Fixed a critical security vulnerability in file uploads.

• Built and integrated a mini-game into the product’s video waiting room (just for fun and engagement ).

• Reviewed 200+ PRs across a large open-source codebase.

• Collaborated asynchronously with engineers around the world, improving communication and code quality.

• Learned how scable distributed systems are built.

Tech Stack:
Next.js, React.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Posthog, Metabase, Prisma, Firebase, Stripe, Clerk, and more.

Highlights:

• Ranked in the top 2% globally on LeetCode (Knight rating: 1906).

• 800+ coding problems solved across LeetCode, Codeforces, etc.

• Passionate about open-source, async collaboration, and solving real-world challenges with code.

Open to remote software engineering roles (internships or full-time)

If anyone’s hiring or knows of teams that value hands-on builders, I’d love to connect!

I'm studying Software Engineering at Uninter and I take my education very seriously. Besides the college classes, I study on my own every day, take supplementary courses, and practice programming to improve as much as possible.

Even so, I'm really worried about the mandatory internship. In the region where I live, there are practically no opportunities in the technology area, and that has made me insecure about how I'm going to complete this fundamental stage of the course.

I see a lot of people saying that remote positions are extremely competitive and difficult to get, which further increases my anxiety. I'm afraid of dedicating myself so much and, even so, not getting an opportunity to enter the market.

I'd like to hear from those who have been through this: Is it possible to get a remote internship in Software Engineering while being outside of the big centers? What really makes a difference in the selection process? What practical strategies really work?

Any sincere guidance will help me a lot.

Hi all,

As a former CS major I remember how difficult it was to find & secure an internship. I wanted to help the next generation a little bit so I found & verified 12 remote internships still accepting applicants for this summer:

Hey everyone,

I'm a BS Software Engineering student in my 5th semester, and I've covered all the major programming subjects, including learning Flutter on the side. Now, I'm on the lookout for a part-time internship to gain practical experience, considering my university schedule.

Finding local opportunities has been tough, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows about remote internships or ways to collaborate with freelancers for practical experience. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Like the post if you found this useful :)

I am looking to break into Web Development, I’ve been learning for the last 2 years and currently enrolled as a CS student at UADE.

Has anyone done a remote internship? How did you find it? What company? And how was it?

I'm a 3rd year, 1st semester Software Engineering student from Sri Lanka, and I’ve been struggling to find an internship in software engineering. There aren’t many internship opportunities available locally, so I’m trying to look for international or remote internships, but it's been really tough.

I’m comfortable working with the MERN stack, Java, Python, and Spring Boot. I’ve built a few personal and academic projects, but when I apply to international internships, I often get ignored or rejected without feedback.

I’d really appreciate some advice on:

• How to find international or remote internships that are open to students from countries like Sri Lanka

• Platforms, websites, or companies that are more likely to consider international students

• How to stand out when you don’t have previous internship experience

• Whether I should focus on one stack or highlight my versatility

If anyone from a similar background has managed to get an international internship, I’d love to hear your experience.

Is there a list for this and when do applications for these typically open?

I’m just curious if anyone can guide me in the right direction. I keep hearing whispers that major tech companies do offer fully remote internships for software engineering, but I’m not seeing anything listed for any FAANG companies. Following the pandemic, are these companies no longer doing fully remote internships?

I know as a whole fully remote positions, whether it be internships or full-time are very rare. I’m just trying to put out feelers as hybrid or in-person are out of the question for me.

Those of you who landed your first completely remote developer job, what was your story? How hard was it to attain this position?

What’s y’all’s experience. Got in with a big power company but the position I accepted is remote. Idk how to feel about it. So excited that this company wants me though.

Hello everyone I'm currently learning python and was wondering if I can get a fully remote internship with my knowledge later on , I live in Lebanon and there is no internships over here (for non students) , I was wondering if it's worth actually learning programming and if I can have a career in it as a self taught person I'm still a beginner at the moment and I will pursue a degree in software engineering next year but as I go after the degree I'm curious if I can get something out of the 4-5 hours I'm spending daily learning code

Hello everyone, and thank you in advance for your help!

I've been applying to remote/abroad (in-person) internships for the past month and had very few interviews. Most of the time I don't get invited to interviews and my application immediately gets rejected (after a few days). Is there something I am doing wrong? Be brutally honest, please!

Note: If you're wondering if the background is green: nopee, I just took a screenshot and I set the background color to green on my pdf viewer, but the pdf that I apply with has a white background !

I wanted to help you all to find jobs so made a list of new remote entry & mid-level Software Development jobs. I hope this helps someone!

I hope you're all doing great! I'm currently on the lookout for remote internships / work abroad opportunities in the tech industry. I'm eager to hear from those of you who have already ventured down this path. Your experiences and insights would be incredibly helpful.

Here are some questions I have:

1. How did you discover remote software developer/engineer internship/work abroad opportunities? Were there specific platforms, websites, or resources that were particularly useful?

2. How was the interview like? and how did you prepare for the interview?

3. What did you resume look like at that time? Why do you think you got accepted?

Hello, I wanted to know if there is any website or sub where I could find about part-time remote IT jobs or paid/unpaid internship opportunities. I have no specific country in mind to work in.

Thanks a lot

hi, i'm finishing up my last weeks of college and am looking for a full-time or part-time software developer job so that I can not join the rat race and truly live my life.

i have three software engineering internships so far, one of them at Amazon, which totals to about one years worth of experience.

how hard is it to get a fully remote entry level position as a SWE? i understand they are probably less common or pay less, but I just need enough to live in a dirt-cheap country like Vietnam.

what realistic expectations can I expect to see in order to achieve this dream of mine?

Hello everyone!! I'm sorry for the long post but I wanted to be comprehensive for you all.

I wanted to share my story because I'd frequently notice in the comments on success stories here, people mentioning how hard it is to even be considered for anything without a degree of some sort, relevant or irrelevant to programming. Throughout my journey, I also found this to be very much the case.

A bit of my background: I am 28 and I did attend college but dropped out after 2 years and never got any degrees or graduated, just a lot of debt. I've worked as a waitress, landscaper, gardener, doggie daycare sitter, farmer, and a Lowe's employee. Basically, I have had 0 experience in any type of computer or tech job ever.

My self-taught journey:

1.I started with How to Automate the Boring Stuff with Python developed a pretty good understanding of basic python syntax but didn't build any major projects. Then I worked through Beyond the Basics with Python that introduced me to git control and some more advanced Python concepts.

2.I left my job where I worked 10 hrs a day, 6 days a week for a serving job working only 4-6 hours a night 4 days a week allowing me to study for about 8 hours a day M-F. Since it was a pretty busy restaurant, I didn't take a huge pay cut from my previous job.

(This isn't for everyone, but I highly recommend trying get some work schedule where you can spend most of your day, at least one day of the week, learning and studying once you reach a certain point. Mostly I recommend this to get yourself in the habit of coding 8 hours a day. If you've always worked manual labor jobs like me, this may be a hard transition once you get a job, so try to ease yourself into it.)

3.I heard about The Odin Project and decided to give it a go. I completed the Foundations course and half of the Ruby course.

(It was an awesome learning resource not only to learn web development but to develop good learning habits.)

(I frequently used Mozilla's MDN Web Docs during the course and I highly recommend it as a resource for web development if you don't already use it!)

4.I developed my first web application with Django, with the goal of it being resume ready, to work on my Python and Web Development skills.

(Working with Django not only taught how to give and handle web requests and data but also experience working with databases.)

(For a lot of this project, I had to dive into the actual source code of Django to understand certain functionalities in order to re-implement my own methods. I think this challenge really helped me get a better understanding of Object Oriented Programming and how to organize and implement a large program with lots of different pieces.)

(Depending on your career goal, databases are a very important skill set and learning them during development of my Django project was a perfect time if my knowledge to learn. Additionally, the usage of them in Django is very intuitive making the learning process much easier IMO.)

5.My second resume project was an event planning app, that utilized a local SQlite database to house the event data. I got the idea from a challenge one of the organizers, in a local group I found, gave us from the subreddit r/DailyProgrammer.

(I wrote this program in python and utilized their sqlite3 package however, the package requires you to write your own SQL statements. This really helped amp up my database skill set.)

At this point I was 1.5 years into self teaching and was getting tired of my serving job so I started the job search. When I finally figured out what title I was even looking for, I had a pretty good grasp of the required skills and concepts listed under those jobs however, most also wanted experience or a degree, and I had neither. I applied at a few places that hadn't specified needing either but didn't hear anything. At a loss, I wanted to find a group of programming professionals whom I could talk to about how they got that first foot in the door. (I have many Discord programming channels but as they have hundreds to thousands, some millions, of people it's almost impossible to network in them) I found meetup.com and searched my town for local python and coding groups, and found a python one right in my town! It was a great environment that was tailored to those learning coding, but also went over advanced topics where you'd get input from professionals. After being in the group a month or so, on a message board for the group, another member (who I had not met yet) mentioned screening interns at their work. I am not one to put myself out there and I was worried that asking about it directly would overstep some boundary of the group chat but I said what the hell, and asked if they were still accepting interns. 2 weeks later, I was hired for a full time internship with the opportunity to be hired on as a python developer. And to be completely honest, I bombed on of the questions they asked me in the interview. I didn't think I did great, but I did think I did okay!

The main technical questions they asked:

• Walk them though writing the pseudo code for developing a tetris game.

  • They were looking for me to define some type of MVC(Model View Controller) or MTC(Model Template Controller) design pattern.

• Given 2 SQL tables, one of veggies the other prices of those veggies each year related to the veggie table by foreign key, write an SQL command that returns the average price of each veggie over the years.

  • This is the question i didn't know. I had learned databases with Django and used many foreign keys. However, for some reason I forgot when I was making my event planner app using only the python sqlite3 package, and hadn't worked on learning the actual SQL syntax of foreign keys, querying 2 tables, or joining the results of 2 different tables together.

• Given a python function with a try/except statement and 3 different return values, how many unit test cases would you need to fully test the function.

  • My primary task in the internship is writing unit tests for already existing functions. I hadn't actually worked with python unittesting extensively until my event planner project so it was fresh on my mind.

They said they were most impressed with the breadth of knowledge I had already, from python to java-script to ruby, and my experience working with git control(imperative in the real world work setting and both The Odin Project and Beyond the Basics with Python focused heavily on teaching git control) and databases was a plus. (Like I said before, Django was great for learning databases and if you use python, sqlite3 requires you to write your own SQL Syntax commands as strings so that's a great next step).

I am not a true python developer yet, and honestly I am still waiting on my first Pull Request review to know if I am even doing a good job so far, but I am here and getting extremely valuable real world experience. All of this to say, it is possible. Don't be discouraged if you don't have a degree but know that you may have to rely more on networking. A large majority of the programming community, I have found, loves teaching and helping others learn how to code and wants us who are self-taught to excel! All of the people on my team at my new job are self-taught, I may have been lucky to find them but I did also try to find them. Just put yourself out there, even if it's out of your comfort zone (like it was for me), and you'll get there!

TLDR: Networking is your best friend. I know we hear it a lot when beginning the job search but it's true. Try to find a local coding group for your language, I used meetup, and get familiar being around professionals talking about code, and ask them how they got their foot in the door. I don't doubt you'll find someone willing to give you a chance.

Edit: sorry for the formatting guys. The markdown didn't translate well onto mobile.

Edit: I am so happy to hear all your stories and hear that my story was able to inspire you! I will respond to everyone eventually! Thank you for all the kind words, y'all are the best! 🥹
