Django Developer Intern

About us

Built in Richmond, our document management tool is used by county clerks, title companies and small law offices. The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS.

About the role

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. We are headquartered in Richmond and have been hiring remotely since 2020. This is a remote internship. You will work with our team in Richmond, and the stipend is paid monthly in USD. Expect to work a schedule that overlaps with US Eastern business hours until about noon ET.

What you'll do

Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.

What we're looking for

Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection. Women wanting to start or restart their career can also apply. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.

What you get out of it

How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored. Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends. Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
