New Chapter: Software Engineer Intern at Indexa Capital (Backend & Agentic AI)
Starting a new professional chapter as Software Engineer Intern in the technology team at Indexa Capital: how I set my sights on a company whose engineering culture and product I deeply admired, the interview process while attending the Cyber Bootcamp in Málaga, and diving into scalable backend architectures and agentic AI developer workflows...
Inicio una nueva etapa profesional incorporándome como Software Engineer Intern en el equipo de tecnología de Indexa Capital: cómo me propuse entrar en una empresa cuya cultura técnica y producto admiraba, el proceso de entrevistas mientras cursaba el Cyber Bootcamp de Málaga, y la inmersión en arquitecturas backend escalables y flujos de desarrollo asistidos por IA agéntica.
Indexa Capital — Automated Investment Management Platform
When seeking university internships to take a qualitative leap as an engineer, the premise was clear: join a company with an exemplary engineering culture and a product I already used and believed in:
- Culture of Radical Transparency & Technical Rigor: Indexa Capital stands out as Spain's leading independent automated manager, guided by radical transparency, sustainably low fees, and mathematical automation of index portfolios.
- High-Reliability Backend Engineering: Managing hundreds of millions of euros across thousands of clients requires unwavering reliability, transactional consistency, and architectural robustness where every line of code matters.
Preparing and advancing through each interview round coincided directly with my intensive stay at the Google/UMA Cybersecurity Bootcamp in Málaga:
- Balancing Intensive Training with Technical Rounds: Between lectures, security labs, and networking events in Málaga, I dedicated late hours to deeply study the business model, architecture, and fintech challenges, tackling every technical stage with preparation and ambition.
- Transparency & Human Connection in Interviews: Every conversation with the technology team was transparent, direct, and centered on software engineering fundamentals, problem-solving, and sound technical reasoning, confirming the high caliber of the team.
On September 9th, I officially joined the technology team as a Software Engineer Intern:
- Backend Systems & Scalability: Deep dive into the platform's backend ecosystem, learning design patterns for fault-tolerant financial services, query optimization, and automated continuous deployment pipelines.
- Integrating Agentic AI into Daily Workflows: Exploration and adoption of modern workflows powered by agentic AI and intelligent assistants in daily programming, refactoring, and automated verification, accelerating engineering velocity and precision.
- Warm Welcome & Mentorship: Deeply grateful for the warm welcome, mentorship, and support from all teammates, making every day an enriching and fast-paced learning experience.
Eager to deliver tangible engineering value and make the absolute most of this chapter:
- Delivering Value from Day One: Commitment to actively contribute across backend tasks, incident resolution, service optimizations, and deploying new user-facing functionality for Indexa clients.
- Synergy with Final Thesis & Graduation: This experience marks the culmination of my Computer Science degree at UGR, balancing production engineering with the upcoming thesis defense.
