About this role

***For that position, we only hire in Casablanca (Morocco) 🇲🇦***

Who is Rollee

Rollee is a data platform that helps financial institutions make better risk decisions by accessing verified income, employment, and other alternative data directly from the source.

The way people work has changed. Income can now come from multiple employers, freelance work, gig platforms, or other sources, but many financial institutions still rely on traditional documents and credit data to understand someone's financial situation. This can make verification slow and fragmented and can leave people with non-traditional income profiles underserved.

Through a single platform, we connect to sources such as gig platforms, government tax portals, payment platforms, and other employment and income systems, then transform that information into structured, actionable data. Our customers use it to verify income and employment, improve their risk models, reduce fraud, and make better underwriting decisions.

Ultimately, our mission is to help build a financial system where people can be assessed based on a more complete picture of their real financial situation, regardless of how or where they work.

The role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer Intern to join our Coverage team for 6 months.

The Coverage team is responsible for expanding and maintaining Rollee’s ability to connect to employment and income data sources. You’ll work alongside our engineers on technical challenges involving web and mobile applications, third-party systems, APIs, authentication flows, and data extraction.

This internship is a great fit for someone who enjoys exploring how systems work, solving unconventional technical problems, and learning by doing. You’ll have the opportunity to work on real production challenges, collaborate with different members of our tech team, and progressively take ownership of your work.

We don’t expect you to know everything from day one. What matters most to us is your curiosity, technical foundations, willingness to learn, and ability to tackle unfamiliar problems.

What you'll do

Build, maintain, and improve integrations with employment and income data sources
Explore web and mobile applications to understand how they communicate with backend systems
Work with documented, partially documented, and undocumented third-party APIs
Help debug authentication flows, network requests, and data extraction processes
Write clean, reliable, and maintainable Python code
Investigate technical issues and contribute to finding solutions
Learn and apply good engineering practices, design patterns, and clean architectures
Contribute to testing, monitoring, and automation
Collaborate with engineers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, Frontend Developers, and other members of the team
Take ownership of your work, iterate quickly, learn from feedback, and continuously improve

As you progress, you’ll have the opportunity to take on increasingly challenging problems and greater ownership.

What we're looking for

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

Experience with Python, whether through internships, personal projects, coursework, or professional experience
Some hands-on experience with web scraping, automation, or data extraction
An interest in exploring and debugging web and/or mobile applications
Curiosity about HTTP, APIs, and how applications communicate with backend systems
A self-learning mindset and an appetite for challenging technical problems
A strong interest in fintech, data, and financial inclusion
The ability to learn independently and get comfortable with unfamiliar technical challenges
Good written and spoken English - we work 100% in English

This is an internship, so we don’t expect you to tick every box. We’re much more interested in your technical foundations, curiosity, and ability to learn than in the number of technologies you already know.

Nice to have

Any of the following would be a plus:

Experience working with undocumented or partially documented third-party APIs
Experience with network debugging and traffic analysis
Knowledge of authentication and authorization mechanisms
Familiarity with mobile and/or web application security, encryption, and common security protocols
Experience investigating how web or mobile applications work under the hood
An understanding of privacy-by-design principles
Experience with automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, or DevOps practices
An interest in software architecture, design patterns, and technical excellence
Experience working independently or as part of a remote team

Why Rollee

Learn by building something that matters. Join an early-stage company with an ambitious mission: transforming how employment and income data is accessed around the world.

Take ownership. We’ll give you the support you need while encouraging you to progressively own your work, make decisions, and learn from the results.
Grow with us. Take on increasingly challenging problems as you develop your skills and demonstrate what you can do.
Work flexibly. We care about outcomes and ownership, not where you sit. We give our team the flexibility and trust to do their best work.
Get the tools you need. We provide a MacBook, plus access to a coworking space and/or a remote-work equipment budget, depending on your location.
