Backend Development Intern

Who we are

Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

The internship

Our Internal Tools team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. This role is fully remote within Nepal. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

What you'll do

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

Requirements

• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection.
• Students or recent graduates of BIT, BCA, BBA, BBS or a related program.
• Available for the full internship period, work from home.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

What you get out of it

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
