Backend Development Intern - Remote

About the internship

Our Core Services 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. As an intern, you will:

1. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

2. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

3. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

4. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.

5. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer

6. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

7. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

8. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
