Engineering Intern, Platform

Who we are:

Typical projects include office moves, server migrations to Azure, and replacing aging switches and access points. After-hours on-call comes around every fourth week.

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. This role is fully remote within the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Responsibilities:

• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• 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.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.

Requirements:

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2026 or 2027.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• 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.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it:

• How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers.
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next.
