Engineering Intern, Platform

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. Most of what we build is back-office software for property managers, including lease tracking, work orders and tenant payments. Founded in 1998, we now have 100 employees.

The internship

Our Platform 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. This role is fully remote within the US. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

What you'll do

Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same. 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. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations. Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them.

What we're looking for

Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Able to communicate clearly in written English on Slack and in pull requests. Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.
