Internship for Developers

at Avito — Start Your IT Career

Paid internship for students and graduates: Backend, Frontend, QA, Android, and iOS. Real tasks, a mentor, from 25 hours per week, and a chance to stay with the team.

Internship

This is where backend, frontend, and QA developers start their journey. Join and gain experience you can showcase — in code, in case studies, in your resume.

The internship provides a boost for your development. And if you become one of the best, you can continue your career at Avito.

• Only real tasks: you will make decisions and influence how Avito products work.
• Intern community: share experiences and simply have pleasant conversations with interns like you.
• Engaged mentor: will provide feedback, always support and help — will not leave you alone with difficulties.

Five directions: backend, frontend, QA, Android, and iOS.

General Requirements for All

• You can read in English (it will be needed for documentation), and you also have basic programming skills.
• You can work from 25 hours per week, and after the internship — full-time.
• You are a 2nd–4th year undergraduate student, a 4th–6th year specialist student, or already have a diploma in a technical, mathematical, or IT specialty. If your diploma is in another field, you have completed IT retraining.

Stack Expectations

Backend

Most of Avito's backend teams work with Go. Some teams use Python as their primary language, and positions are also open for interns in these teams.

Choose a direction based on your experience.

Go

You code in Go or are ready to switch to it from another language. The main thing is to know the basics of development and be ready to master Go for selection and work.

Python

You code confidently in Python and already use its libraries in your projects.

Frontend

• You know JavaScript fundamentals: data types, closures, asynchronous programming, Event Loop.
• You work with the DOM API, understand HTTP/HTTPS and REST.
• You code in React, have experience with Webpack, Rspack, and state management libraries: Redux, MobX.
• You understand semantic HTML, CSS (cascading, selectors, media queries) and page load optimization.

QA

• You know testing methods and approaches: use test design techniques, correctly format bug reports, and prioritize bugs.
• You understand one of the languages: Python, Java, Go, or JavaScript — at a level that allows you to write tests for UI or API.
• You understand software development processes.
• You have basic knowledge of networks and SQL.
• You understand the principles of CI/CD.

Android

• You know Kotlin and Android development fundamentals, work in Android Studio.
• You create interfaces using XML or Jetpack Compose.
• You understand memory management and multithreading (Coroutines).
• You use Dependency Injection.
• You design applications with MV architectural patterns — for example, MVVM or MVI.

iOS

• You are proficient in Swift.
• You understand the basics of working with Git.
• You know the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms.
• You understand client-server interaction.

Additional Requirements for Go

• You have experience with Golang or are willing to switch to it from another language. Theoretical knowledge will be required to pass the test.
• You know SQL: you can write a query with multiple JOINs and understand why ACID and CTE are needed.
• You can write REST CRUD services.
• You understand what channels and contexts are.
• You can perform simple operations or read scripts in Bash.
• You can estimate the complexity of algorithms and operations with basic containers.

Additional Requirements for Python

• You have experience with Python and knowledge of standard libraries.
• You know SQL fundamentals: you can write a query with multiple JOINs and understand the purpose of transactions, ACID, and CTE.
• You can write REST CRUD services in Python.
• You understand the basics of asynchronous programming.
• You can perform simple operations or read scripts in Bash.
• You can estimate the complexity of algorithms and operations with Python data structures.

You have experience with Golang. Or you know the language theoretically and can switch to it from PHP or Python. Theoretical knowledge will be needed to pass the selection for the program — there will be a test with questions about Golang.

Several vacancies in this stack are open in this wave. It is important that you have experience with Python and its libraries.
