About Sorrelward Labs:

Our audience is small but loyal: about 40,000 newsletter subscribers who actually open it. Hobbyists in Israel make up most of our customers, and many have been buying since the beginning. We ship small changes daily rather than big quarterly releases.

Overview:

We need a student who can write clean code, test it and explain what it does. Prior internships are not required. Our headquarters is in Haifa, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Haifa. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Core hours are 10:00 to 15:00 CET. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Day to day:

• Write and test backend features in Python or Node.js under the guidance of a senior developer.
• Raise pull requests on GitHub and respond to code review comments within a day.
• Query and update data in PostgreSQL or MySQL, including simple migrations.
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger.
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks.

What we're looking for:

• Based in Uruguay for the duration of the internship.
• Eligible to work in Uruguay.
• Good grasp of at least one programming language: Python, Java, JavaScript or C++.
• Basic understanding of data structures, OOP and how HTTP requests work.
• Available for 30 to 40 hours a week for the full internship period.
• A GitHub profile with at least two projects you wrote yourself.
• Some experience with Git, even if only on college or personal projects.
• Must be able to overlap at least 4 hours a day with the team's working hours.

Preferred:

• Competitive programming practice on LeetCode, Codeforces or CodeChef.
• Knowledge of Linux command line basics.

What you'll learn:

• Code review on every pull request, so expect a lot of feedback on naming, tests and structure.
• 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.
