Engineering Intern, Platform, Summer 2027

About FTN Software:

Founded in 1987, the business writes the billing, metering and customer portal software that small water and electric utilities run on.

The internship:

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 within the US. The team meets in New York City once a quarter, travel covered. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

Responsibilities:

• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems.
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack.
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result.
• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets.

What we're looking for:

• Based in the US for the duration of the internship.
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY)

What you get out of it:

• 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.
