About us

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems license our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. More than 9,000 organizations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts.

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. Remote within the US. The team meets in San Diego once a quarter, travel covered. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

Responsibilities

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
