Backend Engineering Intern (Remote)

FMA Knowledge is a 29-person team producing custom e-learning for corporate clients. Deadlines cluster at the end of the quarter when clients spend their budgets.

About the role:

Our Integrations 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 within the US. The team meets in Houston once a quarter, travel covered. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems

Requirements:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it:

• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
