Backend Engineering Intern

About MN Digital:

Product, engineering and support teams work out of offices in Jerusalem, Jerusalem District and two nearshore delivery centers. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

The internship:

Our Core Services 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. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Jerusalem team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

Responsibilities:

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• 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.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests.
