Software Development Internship 2027 Romania

Via the links on our careers pages only – we aren’t able to accept applications via email.

In 2026, we expect to take on around 18 interns and 5 graduate developers.

We aim to organize entry-level new starters into cohorts, to have the advantage of running through training together. This will generate start dates throughout the year, but they are not yet fixed – we’ll work based on the preferences of our candidates.

Yes. We are offering summer internships, lasting 11 weeks. See our Bucharest internships page.

There is no need to apply for more than one role – you can simply indicate your interest in other roles when you apply. In any case, we consider people for all suitable roles so it isn’t critical which role(s) you specify on your application.

For your first 1-2 years of training we would expect you to be in the office 4-5 days per week. Beyond that there is greater flexibility, but most of our employees will be in three or more days per week on average.

In practice we are often able to say “yes” to people who wish to work fully remotely for short periods, or have other flexible working needs – e.g. to accommodate caring responsibilities. But there will inevitably be certain projects or activities which require you to attend our offices, so we can’t guarantee that remote working will always be possible.

We are an inclusive employer, so if you have a disability or other personal circumstances that make regular office working a challenge, please do get in touch to discuss further.

Yes! We accomodate for people to work part-time (i.e. alongside their final year of uni). We have found out that it works best if people work full days, and therefore we ask that anyone pursuing a part-time schedule people to work at least 3 days per week, 8 hours per day.

No, Softwire does not offer visa sponsorship for our Bucharest roles.

No. None of our roles require any particular academic grades (from school, university or any other institution), and all of our offers are unconditional.

Our engineers typically work across a range of technologies and industries during the first few years of their career, so we don’t generally offer specialised entry level roles, although we value existing experience, and will aim find project assignments that make best use of it.

There are further opportunities to specialise later in your career, for example in Data Engineering or AI engineering. All our roles will feature a strong focus on developing consultancy / client-facing skills, and using AI in an effective, high-quality way.

All those that receive an offer of employment from us are welcome to visit our offices before making their decision. Due to the volume of applicants, we are regrettably unable to offer earlier visits – apologies!

Full salary details are listed on the open role pages.

There are five stages: submission of the application form; online tests (typically lasting 2 hours); a 30-minute non-technical interview; a 90-minute technical interview, a 45-minute soft skills interview. At each stage we aim to get back to you within two working days, the only exception being after the group interview when we might need more time to make a final decision on your application. All interviews are conducted remotely, with humans (not bots!) and you are able to choose your own time slots for the interview, using our online booking system.

Lots of coding practice! Hobby projects, academic projects, any coding at all. The aim should be to obtain good coding fluency – it’s not about knowing every corner of a language, but about being comfortable working with the basic concepts. We use CodeSignal to deliver our coding test. If you would like to practise using their test environment, feel free to register with them and try some of their exercises. You may also find good exercises on HackerRank and LeetCode. We strongly recommend that you put some practice in before taking the tests, both on the CodeSignal platform and elsewhere, and especially so if you are a beginner.

We are very much open to beginners applying but to assess you we do require you to have some coding experience, even if it’s only a little. (Without such experience, how would either of us know that coding is something you actually enjoy!) We recommend a minimum of around 25 hours or so before you take our online coding test. And the more experience you do have, the better your chances in our assessment.

You can get started with any mainstream programming language, with the most common examples being: Python, Ruby, Javascript, Java or C#. (Knowledge of HTML/CSS is useful but they aren’t programming languages.) There are plenty of sites that will teach you the basics, for example, Codecademy if you’d rather learn more formally.

Our entry-level new starters begin with a dedicated, full-time training program over their first couple of weeks, guided by a dedicated mentor. This induction provides a comprehensive introduction to Softwire and the main high-level technologies we use. Following this, they immediately join a team for hands-on training, contributing to a real-world project; either in-house or for a client. This practical work is supported by close mentoring and is combined with part-time, off-project more formal training for about 12 months.

Our full-time roles are contracted for 40 hours per week, 8 hours/day. Long working hours are quite rare at Softwire, and few people regularly work much more than 40 hours per week. Employees need to be working during ‘core hours’, to overlap with their team mates. Core hours may vary per team but are typically 10am-4pm.
