Backend Engineering Intern

Certifications include ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and we hold partner status with Microsoft, Cisco and VMware. Large rollouts are routine here, such as imaging 12,000 laptops for a state agency over one summer. Tickets live in ConnectWise and everyone logs time to the quarter hour.

The program

Front Range Computer Services is hiring a Backend Engineering Intern for Immediately. 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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Responsibilities

• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.

Preferred qualifications

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.

What you get out of it

• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends.
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.

Program dates: Immediately, 6 months.

Compensation: $41.50 - $53.50 an hour

What we offer

• Final presentation to leadership.
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager.
• Paid company holidays.
• Paid sick time.
• Learning and development stipend.
• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)
