Backend Engineering Intern

Who we are:

We run a marketplace with over 300,000 active sellers and fulfillment centers in four regions. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Phoenix and several other countries. Product reviews happen on Thursdays, with demos of whatever shipped that week.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning.

Day to day:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• 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
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Duration: 16 weeks

Start date: Jan 2027

Stipend: $47.00 - $47.50 per hour

What we offer:

• Home office setup stipend
• Mentorship from a dedicated buddy and manager
• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)
• Return offer opportunities
• Company laptop

Duration: 16 weeks. Start: Jan 2027.
