Backend Engineering Intern - Summer 2027

Phoenix Insurance Services is a family-owned agency with 13 people in a storefront on Main Street.

About the role:

The intern will work on internal tools and APIs used by our support and operations staff. Daily standup on Google Meet, everything else async on Slack. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Day to day:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• 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.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

What you get out of it:

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it.
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
