Django Developer Intern

About us:

Production studios in San Antonio and abroad record and edit thousands of hours of video a year. Fridays are meeting-free.

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. We are headquartered in San Antonio and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will intern remotely with our team in San Antonio. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

Day to day:

• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.
