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, open to candidates across the US. Few meetings, lots of written updates.

DAY TO DAY

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations

• Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection
