About the role:

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, open to candidates across the US. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

Responsibilities:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests

Preferred:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef
• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP

What you get out of it:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored
• 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
