Overview:

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. You can work from home anywhere in India. We have no office requirement. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing.

Responsibilities:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• 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
• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
