Arua automates tedious manual tasks, reduces errors and minimizes fraud. Our platform brings together AI, Machine Learning, Open Banking and a slick user experience to meet the requirements of Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) for a simple and efficient buying process, also known as Account Payables or Purchase-to-Pay.

We are offering a full-time internship within the systems development area of the company, which is crucial to the development of our platform and the successful launch with initial clients.

This experience will give you complete insight into the process by which an idea is converted into functional software, and ultimately you will be part of building an exciting new start-up.

The role consists of supporting the development effort of the established team to deliver state of the art results by analysing user behaviour and offering a clear view on how our clients use the platform and how this process can be optimized.

In this role, you will be working closely with IT development, the company’s founders, and their customers to:

• Analyse how clients interact with our platform. This means understanding the business process we are automating, its legal, practical, and historical set-up, in order to significantly improve it.
• Improve the User Experience (UX) structure both aesthetically and functionally
• Devise a relevant suite of A/B tests to determine ways of improving the existing UX
• Execute some of the above-mentioned tests, and document their outcomes

The initial platform is based on a Java in the background, and JavaScript (React) in the front-end. Our mission now is to launch new modules and functionality as fast as possible on this prototyping platform. The purpose of the prototyping platform is to test ideas and learn; then we update the requirements documentation with these learnings. You will report to the RnD Technology analyst.

The initial internship is for 3 months, which may be followed by another three months if you like the team and we all like working together.
