Overview:

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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Day to day:

Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
