Backend Development Intern

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The internship:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote position. Most of the team is in Bharatpur, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

What you'll do:

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same

• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
