Engineering Intern, Platform

Who we are:

Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product. We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios.

The internship:

Our Internal Tools team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. Remote, open to candidates across the US. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. Equipment is provided, including a laptop.

What you'll do:

Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.

What we're looking for:

Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2027. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
