The internship

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. You will intern remotely with our team in Norwalk. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.
