As a Software Engineer Intern, you will work with engineers on production code, gain hands-on experience, and engage actively in engineering processes like coding, sprint planning, and learning to scale fintech solutions.
Nium is the global infrastructure company powering real-time cross-border payments. Founded to deliver the payments infrastructure of tomorrow, today, we are building a programmable, borderless, and compliant money-movement layer that powers transactions between people, businesses, and intelligent systems — enabling banks, fintechs, payroll providers, travel platforms, marketplaces, and other global enterprises to move money instantly, anywhere in the world.
Co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with offices in 14 markets and team members across 20+ countries, we take pride in a culture anchored in Keeping It Simple, Making It Better, and Winning Together. 2025 was the strongest year in our 10-year history, with record revenue, record transaction volumes, and EBITDA profitability — and we are now entering one of the most dynamic chapters in our journey. We believe the best work happens face-to-face, and we operate a hybrid model with three in-office days per week to strengthen collaboration, alignment, and innovation.
We move over $50B annually across a network that spans 190+ countries, 100 currencies, and 100 real-time corridors. We power fast payouts to accounts, wallets, and cards; enable local collections in 35 markets; and support card issuance in 34 countries — all backed by licenses across 40+ markets.
With over $300M raised to date, Nium offers ambitious builders the opportunity to shape the future of global money movement — at scale.
At Nium, we move money across the globe — powering card issuance, payments, and financial infrastructure that businesses and people rely on every day. We're a fast-growing fintech operating at scale, and this summer, we're opening a seat on the team for someone curious, hungry to learn, and ready to see what real software engineering looks like from the inside.
This isn't a "make the slides and watch from the sidelines" internship. You'll be embedded in our engineering team, writing code that ships, and contributing to a product that real people use.
Responsibilities
- Working alongside engineers on real features and tickets — the kind that end up in production
- Getting hands-on with internal tooling and projects that the team depends on
- Attending standups, sprint planning, code reviews — the full rhythm of an engineering team
- Asking questions, breaking things (safely), and learning how a fintech scales
Requirements
- You're studying Computer Science, Software Engineering, or something adjacent at University of Malta or MCAST
- You're genuinely curious about how software is built — not just in theory, but in practice
- You can write some code (in any language — we care more about thinking than syntax)
- You want to be part of something, not just observe it
What you'll walk away with:
- Real lines of code in a production fintech system
- An understanding of how engineering teams actually work — agile, CI/CD, code reviews, the works
- A network inside a global payments company
- Honestly? A much stronger CV than most of your classmates
