Industrial Placement, Software Engineering

ABOUT MORTISE EDTECH:

Everyone reviews everyone else's work before it goes to the client. Most of the team are former teachers.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Our Internal Tools team is five engineers working fully remote across two time zones. The intern picks up small backend tickets first and moves to bigger features once comfortable. You will intern remotely with our team in Rochester. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. Most communication happens in Slack, with short video calls when needed.

DAY TO DAY:

Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger. Update the README and internal Confluence pages when you change how something works. Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks. Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day. Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer. Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage. Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems. Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2026, 2027 or 2028. Available for the full internship period. A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself. Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours. Comfortable writing simple SQL queries (SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY). Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period. Own laptop with at least 8 GB RAM and a reliable internet connection.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion, plus a pre-placement offer for strong performers. Weekly 1:1 with your mentor to go over what went well and what to work on next. 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.
