Frontend Engineering Intern

About us

Two developers, a designer and a support lead make up most of the company, so everyone touches the product. Small accounting firms in Illinois use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

This internship suits a student who has already built a few websites and wants to work on a codebase with other people. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish.

Responsibilities

• Push code to GitHub through feature branches and pull requests.
• Improve page load times by compressing images, lazy loading and trimming unused code.

• Fix layout bugs across Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and on small mobile screens.
