Backend Development Intern

About Marlowe Group:

Marlowe Group is a management and technology consulting firm with 7,000 employees worldwide. Our practices cover strategy, operations, technology implementation, risk and human capital. We write a lot: proposals, status reports, slide decks and final reports.

The internship:

Our Platform 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Baltimore team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Day to day:

• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

Requirements:

• Own laptop and a reliable internet connection
• Based anywhere in Bangladesh
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

Bonus points:

• Contributions to an open source project, however small

What you get out of it:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
