Software Engineer Intern, Summer 2027
Software Engineer Intern, Summer 2027 at Ardoq
Please note that this is an in-person internship Monday-Friday at our Oslo offices. Applications will close on Friday 18th December 2026.
The Ardoq Story
Ardoq is one of Norway’s most exciting scale-ups - a truly global company built out of Oslo. We are a SaaS platform that helps organizations understand, manage, and evolve their complex digital landscape. By providing a dynamic, collaborative "digital twin" of their business, we connect systems, people, and processes to drive better decision-making and accelerate digital transformation.
Today, we help some of the world’s most complex organizations (like ExxonMobil and British Telecom) gain clarity in a changing world. We are backed by leading global tech investors, including EQT and One Peak, giving us the stability of a mature company with the speed and soul of a startup.
About the Role
The software we build helps our customers understand and evolve their complex digital landscape. As a Software Engineer Intern, you'll work hands-on with real code to build features, not shadow someone else doing it. Your work will improve the platform our customers use and help us explore new ideas.
Dates - June 14th until August 13th, with flexibility to accommodate university schedules where necessary.
What you’ll do
- Work With Real Code: Build front-end and back-end features in Clojure, TypeScript and Python in our main code base
- Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work with engineers, designers, and product colleagues to solve real customer problems.
- Grow Your Skills: Learn the languages, tools, and frameworks behind modern applications, and share what you learn with the team.
- Cultural Contribution: Help foster a high-performance culture built on mentorship and collective success.
On a typical day, you will
You’ll work with your team on a feature, writing code across the front end and the back end. You’ll talk through ideas with designers and product colleagues, and explain your technical choices in plain language. You’ll learn the tools and frameworks the team uses, and try AI tools where they help you work better. By the end of the summer, you'll have deployed code and gotten feedback from internal expert users.
Who you are
We are looking for a collaborator who balances deep domain expertise with a humble, "team-first" mindset.
- The Experience: You have a proven track record in programming in any language, alongside at least two years of a bachelor’s degree or four years of a master’s
- The Mindset: You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy the challenge of building from the ground up.
- The Tools: You are proficient in programming fundamentals in any language, plus the AI tools you’ve tried in work, studies, or personal projects but are always curious about learning what’s next.
- The Communicator: You can translate complex ideas into clear, actionable plans for stakeholders at all levels.
The "Ardoq Way"
We live by three values - Bold, Caring, and Driven - that define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we win.
- BOLD: We continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other, starting from a place of "what if I could?" We act decisively, even when the information isn't complete, and choose forward motion and learning over waiting for the perfect answer.
- CARING: We care enough to be candid. That means delivering direct, kind, and timely feedback that helps our teammates grow. We operate as one team - sharing knowledge openly, celebrating each other's wins, and putting collective success ahead of individual ones.
- DRIVEN: At Ardoq, everyone has a stake in the outcome - including stock options. We act like owners: measuring success by impact rather than effort, saying "no" to distractions, and staying focused on the highest-value work at pace.
