Backend Engineering Intern (Remote)

About Mid-Atlantic Capital

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

The internship

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 position. Most of the team is in Appleton, but nobody is required to come in. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.
