Industry FinTech (IFT) is on a mission to modernize how private capital markets operate. Our technology powers how firms raise capital, engage investors, and manage operations with transparency, efficiency, and compliance. We’re headquartered in Miami with a growing team in Quito, partnering with U.S. private equity firms and investment groups. As we scale our internal platform, we are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to join our development team.
We are looking for a Software Engineering Intern to work alongside our Principal Engineer, helping build and maintain the technical backbone of IFT. You won't just be watching—you’ll be coding, documenting architecture, and solving real-world integration challenges. This is an ideal position for a student in their final semesters who has worked with Clean Code, loves Python, and wants to complete their university internship hours in a fast-paced, international environment.

What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves:
- Currently enrolled in the final semesters or thesis level of Software Engineering, Computer Science, or IT. (Must be eligible for academic credit/hours).

- Solid foundations in Data Structures, OOP, SOLID, and Clean Code.
- Proficiency with Git, Docker, and Linux/Terminal environments.
- Ability to write unit tests and a "debug-ready" mindset.
Bonus Points For:

-
A genuine interest in FinTech and AI/LLMs.
