Backend Development Intern

We originate and service equipment loans for construction companies, farms and trucking fleets. Moraine Payments is an independent wealth management firm advising families, business owners and retirees.

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. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Sharjah, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. Working hours follow Gulf time, Monday to Friday.

What you'll do

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• 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.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

What you get out of it

• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
