Backend Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Headquartered in Toronto since 2004, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. We started in 2004 and have grown to about 910 people.

The internship:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Remote within Canada. The team meets in Toronto once a quarter, travel covered. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Responsibilities:

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

Who can apply:

Based in Canada for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Eligible to work in Canada. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY).

What you get out of it:

Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
