Overview

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote within India. The team meets in Bengaluru once a quarter, travel covered. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

Day to day

• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage

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