Backend Engineering Intern

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. LFL Cloud builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. Founded in 2013, we now have 140 employees. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

About the role:

Our Platform 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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.

What we're looking for:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.

Preferred:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Contributions to an open source project, however small.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you'll learn:

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