Django Developer Intern (Remote)

About DCE IT:

Clients have the owner's cell number, and the owner still takes the occasional Saturday call. Started by a former school district network admin in 2018, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals. Lunch is usually whatever is closest to the client site.

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. Remote internship with a team based in San Antonio. The stipend is paid at the end of each month. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. Please make sure you have dependable internet and backup power.

Day to day:

• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• 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
