Company: Getrentr
Role: Software Developer intern

 

GetRentr is a data-driven prop-tech platform and our mission is to use data and tech to improve rental property standards and to expose rogue landlords so that no tenant has to live in substandard accommodation again. We aggregate and map lots of different
data sets into wonderful products to make this happen.

If you want to make a difference, circumventing traditional processes, and get creative with your technical skills, then we’re the company for you!

As a Software Developer Intern, you will work alongside our CTO and Product Manager to support the company’s technical, creative and data R&D efforts:
– Design and write bots to aggregate, cleanse and merge data into machine-readable datasets
– Turn that data into dashboards with charts, tables and maps
– Combine with our existing data to reveal new insights for a variety of purposes

 

This job might be for you if:
– You want to innovate.
– You want to contribute to, and be part of, something totally new that is constantly evolving. You’re proud and excited by the impact you’re having on the industry.
– You enjoy problem solving, taking on challenges and finding creative solutions. You don’t get flustered easily. If you don’t know the answer you’ll dig until you find it and / or hash it out with your co-workers. A creative exploratory mindset will also thrive on this team.
– You pay attention to the details. As far as you’re concerned, anything worth doing is worth doing right, every single time. You stay focused, and nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.

– You are motivated and driven. You volunteer for new challenges without waiting to be asked. You’re going to take ownership of the time you spend with us and truly make a difference.
– You’re also a good and confident communicator who isn’t afraid to give their opinion but who is also good at listening to others.
