Backend Development Intern - Remote

Who we are

We support about 60 local businesses, most within 30 minutes of the office. Cincinnati Technology Group is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

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. Our team is spread across 6 countries. Headquarters is in Cincinnati. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Cincinnati, and the stipend is paid monthly in Pakistani rupees. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. Reliable internet and a power backup are a must.
