Backend Engineering Intern

Who we are:

Every tech does a bit of everything, from printer jams to firewall rules. We started in 2004 and have grown to about 44 people. Company vehicles are provided for techs who drive to client sites.

The internship:

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, open to candidates across Canada. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

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. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. 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. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.

What we're looking for:

Available for the full internship period. Eligible to work in Canada. Based in Canada for the duration of the internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY).
