Front End Developer Intern

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. Annual releases gave way to two-week sprints years ago, and the platform now handles over 200 million API calls a day. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.
