Engineering Intern, Platform

Who we are

Most clients live within an hour's drive and come in for reviews twice a year. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Still family owned, 35 years on.

About the role

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. This role is fully remote within the US. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Equipment is provided, including a laptop.

What you'll do

• 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
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them

Who can apply

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work

Nice to have

• Exposure to Docker or a cloud platform such as AWS or GCP
• Any previous internship, hackathon or freelance coding work
• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef

What you'll learn

• Writing tests is part of the job here, and you will get good at it
• You will ship at least one feature that real users touch before the internship ends
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
