Engineering Intern, Platform

We employ 900 people across underwriting, claims, actuarial, IT and customer service. Larrow Insurance Group is a property and casualty insurer writing policies in 30 states through independent agents. Continuing education credits are tracked and reimbursed.

The internship:

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. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

Responsibilities:

• 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
• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• 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
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)
• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects

Bonus points:

• Knowledge of Linux command line basics
• 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
• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure
• Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next
