Engineering Intern, Platform

About us

Our product started as a side project in 1989 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Missouri. Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product.

Overview

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Remote within the US. The team meets in Kansas City once a quarter, travel covered. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

What you'll do

Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.

Requirements

Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.

What you get out of it

Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure. How a production codebase is organised, deployed and monitored.
