Hennge Global Internship Program on Software Engineering – Highly Rewarding

HENNGE’s Global Internship Program (GIP) is an on-site software engineering training program at Hennge headquarters in Tokyo. Designed for students and early-career engineers, this is your chance to strengthen your skills in a global, English-speaking environment — no Japanese required.

You can choose the path that fits your goals: Front-End Pathway focuses on TypeScript and modern frameworks like React or Vue, while Full-Stack Pathway covers back-end, front-end, and basic DevOps using Python, Go, or TypeScript. Rather than production work, Hennge emphasizes your growth in fundamental engineering, problem-solving, and collaboration through direct mentorship and hands-on training with AWS.

The program runs for 4–6 weeks, Monday to Friday (10 AM – 7 PM JST). You’ll work alongside Hennge entire engineering team, communicating daily with mentors and peers. While the program is unpaid, the company provides comprehensive subsidies, and outstanding participants may be offered full-time employment opportunities.

Choose Your Path

All applicants are required to choose at least one pathway, and each pathway has a different internship schedule. Please refer to the internship schedule for reference.
If you are interested in applying for both pathways, please submit separate applications using different email address for the coding challenge.
Once enrolled in the program, interns cannot change pathways midway.

There are two pathways and each candidate can choose one: Full-Stack Pathway or Front-End Pathway.

Full-Stack Pathway

Build and connect full-stack applications by designing back-end APIs and front-end interfaces with a focus on core concepts like security, state management, and testing across the entire cloud-integrated stack.
Refine your engineering approach by navigating Unix-like environments and DevOps tooling, while using mentor feedback to iteratively improve your technical decisions, trade-offs, and problem-solving skills.
Internship Flow:
- Weeks 1-3: Full-Stack Application Development Project
- Week 4: DevOps & Infrastructure Project
- Weeks 5-6 (conditional): Special Assignment – a unique project for each intern and specific to their batch.

Qualifications

Essential:

Third-year undergraduate or higher (including Master’s and Doctoral students). Recent graduates are welcome to apply
Pursuing or holding a degree in Computer Science or a related field. If not, equivalent experience from a tech internship or bootcamp is expected
Fluency in English (Japanese is not required)
Proficiency in Python, Go, or React/Vue in TypeScript
Knowledge of Linux / MacOS / Unix-like environments
Interested in open source or tech community activities
Interested in pursuing a career in Japan

At least meet three of the following:

Experience in cloud computing platforms, especially AWS
Experience in full stack web application development
Knowledge of distributed systems
Knowledge of DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code)
Knowledge of Container technology (e.g. Docker)

Ideal Candidate

The ideal full stack engineering intern is a curious problem-solver who’s excited to build real-world applications and grow in a fast-paced tech environment. Hennge is especially interested in candidates who:

Are proficient in Python, Go, and React/Vue in TypeScript and comfortable working in Unix-like environments
Have a solid grasp of both front-end and back-end development
Have an interest in cloud computing and DevOps practices
Are passionate about learning, contributing to tech communities, and possibly pursuing a career in Japan

Please note that this program is part of the pre-hiring process; those interested in seeking a career in Japan may have a significant advantage.

Assignment Details

As an intern, you will get hands-on experience in full stack web application development and how to deploy them to AWS. Working hours will be 10:00 – 19:00 JST; please make sure that there will be no conflict in schedules with your studies or other activities.
