About the role
ABOUT THE JOB
As a Software Engineering Intern at Lean, you'll ship real enhancements to the infrastructure our clients use to move money and access financial data. Production code, reviewed by experienced engineers, used by clients.
You'll work across several of our Java Spring Boot services, running on Kubernetes. AI-assisted development is central to how we work: Claude Code is part of our standard toolchain, we provide a generous (near-unlimited) usage quota, and we expect engineers at every level to be fluent with it, using it to move faster while staying firmly in control of what ships.
You'll have a dedicated mentor, along with your team and manager, to set and track development goals with you. The internship is designed as a path into a full-time engineering role at Lean.
ABOUT LEAN
Lean is the leading financial infrastructure provider in the Middle East. We power some of the region's largest companies with APIs that enable payments, account verification, financial data access, and other critical financial infrastructure.
What started as the region's pioneering Open Banking platform and quickly became the de facto leader in account aggregation and payment initiation in the region is now becoming something bigger: a multi-product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA.
We've processed billions of dollars in transactions. We're trusted by 350+ clients - from Tabby and Tas'heel to Hungerstation - and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq. Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning. We're expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn't exist here before.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, develop, test, and debug software enhancements from ticket to production, with your mentor reviewing your work
- Use agentic coding tools (Claude Code) to raise both the quality and velocity of your work, and help the team build good patterns for using them well
- Take part in code reviews on both sides…
