Engineering Intern, Platform

Who we are:

We operate two 24/7 network operations centers and a security operations center, staffed in three shifts.

About the role:

Our Integrations 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. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning.

What you'll do:

• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day
• 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
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks

What we're looking for:

• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself

What we offer:

• Intern events and speaker sessions (virtual)

Duration: 6 months. Start: Feb 2027.
