About The Role

You will complete an internship at our HQ in Minturno (LT), within the IT department, following a structured 6-month training path (3 + 3) alongside the more experienced developers. You will support the development of the internal applications the company uses every day - management tools, process-specific applications and systems supporting the various departments - working mainly on the PHP backend and contributing to the interfaces as well. You will learn how the applications integrate with the company management system and the other systems in use, and take part in the digitalisation of processes and in the first integrations of AI features. You will also work alongside the department supporting colleagues in diagnosing and resolving hardware and network issues. It is an entry path designed to build concrete programming skills on real projects. Occasional travel in Italy and abroad is expected, alongside the team.
