Django Developer Intern

About KB Systems:

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Overview:

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. Our team is spread across 20 countries. Headquarters is in Tucson. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Tucson team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. A stable internet connection and a backup power option are required.

Day to day:

• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

Requirements:

• Women returning to work after a career break are welcome to apply.
• Have a working laptop and a stable internet connection.
• Can commit full time, from home, for the whole internship.
• Students currently pursuing B.Tech, BE, BCA, MCA, B.Sc or a related degree, or fresh graduates (2026, 2027 or 2028 batch)
• Pursuing a B.Tech, B.E., BCA, MCA, BS Computer Science or a related degree, graduating in 2026, 2027 or 2028.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

What you'll learn:

• 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.
• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
