Backend Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Our commercial banking group lends to manufacturers, health systems and real estate developers. Wealth management, mortgage and treasury services each operate as separate lines of business. Founded in 1968, we now have 280 employees. Most lenders have lived in the area for decades and know their borrowers.

Overview:

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. Remote within the US. The team meets in Houston once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short.

Day to day:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger

Who can apply:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
