Backend Engineering Intern

Atlantic Capital is a fee-only advisory practice with two advisors, a paraplanner and an office manager. We're looking for a Backend Engineering Intern. 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 position. Most of the team is in Halifax, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

What you will do:

Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

Requirements:

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028. Eligible to work in Canada. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

4 months, starting Feb 2027. Stipend: $30.00 - $32.00 an hour.

Perks: Return offer opportunities, Learning and development stipend, Paid sick time, Company laptop.

Send us your resume. No cover letter needed.

Duration: 4 months. Start: Feb 2027.
