Who we are

Everyone has access to the analytics dashboard, and weekly numbers are posted in Slack. Our audience is small but loyal: about 40,000 newsletter subscribers who actually open it.

Overview

This is a hands-on coding internship. Most of the work is in Python and Node.js, with some SQL and a bit of shell scripting. Our team is spread across 20 countries. Headquarters is in Paris. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Paris team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Working hours overlap with Central European Time.

• 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
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations
• Debug failing builds in the GitHub Actions pipeline and note what caused them
• Profile slow endpoints and suggest fixes, such as adding an index or caching a result
